KINGSTON MUSEUM EXHIBITION - SILK, SQUALOR AND SCANDAL: HOGARTH'S LONDON
This exhibition introduces and examines William Hogarth's remarkable career and the range of his work, from polite society portraits or 'conversation pieces' to London street scenes depicting the seedy side of 18th-century life. Though well-known for his brilliant satirical print series, Hogarth was also an accomplished and innovative painter.
Born in the City of London in 1697, Hogarth did not have an easy childhood. Though well-educated and of modest social standing, his father was never able to use his talents to the full and was imprisoned for debt when Hogarth was only 10. For four years, the family lived in debtors' lodgings near the Fleet Prison. Perhaps this experience instilled the determination with which Hogarth approached his own career. Apprenticed to an engraver at 17, by 23, Hogarth had set himself up as an independent copper-plate engraver and enrolled in the Academy of Painting in St Martin's Lane. Throughout the following four decades he pursued both printing and painting with a mixture of skill, innovation and self-promotion, utilising his extraordinary artistic talent as a way of supporting himself.
