Hogarth was one of the great eighteenth-century painters, a marvelous colourist and innovator at all levels of artistic expression. As a man he was rooted in his own time and his own society. We 'read' his satirical works - The Rake's Progress, Marriage-A-La-Mode - as we read a novel, and our pleasure increases with the number of details we notice and hidden jokes we understand. David Bindman provides an illuminating guide to the satires and a vivid and incisive study of the man and his art.Bindman, David is the author of 'Hogarth' with ISBN 9780500201824 and ISBN 050020182X.
