Mitchell Elizabeth Kathleen; Hogarth William
Death by Hogarth
Univ. New. 1999. Paperback. 1891771086 . FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY - 72 pages 9 1/2 x 10 1/2 38 illustrations - Although it may seem incongruous from a 20th - century perspective in early modern England public executions were as popular an amusement as pleasure gardens fairs and theater extravaganzas. Art performance and capital punishment blended irreverently in grisly spectacles staged northwest of London at the three-sided gallows known as Tyburn. William Hogarth 1697�1764 fleshed out numerous prints with references to criminal culture and the highly dramatic rituals that accompanied executions. Accused criminals had been executed at established and improvised sites throughout England but the name Tyburn was synonymous with hanging during the 18th century. Given Hogarth�s interest in manners and urban life it is no surprise that he peppered his prints with references to crime and execution. The intricate plot lines embedded in his images played with a threefold understanding of execution as sanctioned by Samuel Johnson in his Dictionary of the English Language: as performance as death imposed by official order and as the process of following a plan through to its proper end. These three definitions entangle in Hogarth�s representations of deviant behavior and capital punishment. The catalogue includes three essays 42 catalogue entries an index and a bibliography and are of particular interest to those interested in early modern England 18th-century English art social history criminal culture and gender studies. -- William Hogarth 1697-1764 is one of England's greatest printmakers who satirized his country's moral condition. The exhibition Death by Hogarth on display at the Fogg Art Museum from May 8 through July 18 1999 will examine Hogarth's prints that address the three implications the word execution-as performance as death sentenced on official order and as the process of following a plan through to its natural end-with an emphasis on images related to hanging. Most of the approximately fifty prints to be displayed will come from the collection of Suzanne and Gerald Labiner and others will be loaned from collections throughout Harvard University and are rarely exhibited. Comparative prints by other artists will also be included. In early modern England public execution was as popular an amusement as pleasure gardens fairs and theater extravaganzas. Art performance and capital punishment blended irreverently in grisly castigation spectacles staged northwest of London at the three-sided gallows known as Tyburn. Hogarth fleshed out numerous print narratives with references to criminal culture and the melodramatic rituals that accompanied executions. Yet while other creative persons reacted against the harsh legal environment by romanticizing insurgence and portraying a sympathetic fascination with the condemned criminal Hogarth's prints present execution as one of many unfortunate worldly ends earned by a life of dishonesty.
