Hogarth: Representing Nature's Machine

by David Bindman (Editor), Frédéric Ogée (Editor), Peter Wagner (Editor)

The contributors to this book provide a fresh, challenging perspective on the work of the great British painter and printmaker. Applying new studies of 18th-century science and philosophy, the essays examine the problem of the nature of Hogarth's realism, which recent research has shown relates to a wide range of shifts in the period, and towards a greater concern with observation and representation.
