Wallach Art Gallery Columbia University New York: 15 September - 21 November 1998 ; "The reputation of William Hogarth 1697-1764 rests largely on his pictorial stories a series of engravings that he called "modern Moral Subjects" the most famous being the Harlot's and the Rake's Progress. In this catalog David Bindman works backward from Hogarth's reputation today--where he is seen by some as a conservative populist and by others as a political radical--and examines his impact on various artists over the past three centuries. Bindman also sets Hogarth's prints firmly in their historical context discussing the artist's public and the different influences on his work from Roman satire to the politics of the day. The result is an engaging and insightful portrayal not only of William Hogarth but also of the middle years of the eighteenth century. Art lovers will enjoy this book but so too will anyone with an interest in the literature and history of the mid-eighteenth century. " ; FINE Berkeley : University of California Press, 1997 paperback
