William Hogarth 10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764
- William Hogarth 10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764 was an English painter, engraver, pictorial satirist, social critic, editorial cartoonist and occasional writer on art. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", and he is perhaps best known for his series Marriage A-la-Mode.
- Hogarth's works are mostly satirical caricatures of the first rank of realistic portraiture.
- They became widely popular and mass-produced via prints in his lifetime, and he was by far the most significant English artist of his generation.
- Hogarth's images are like books. Other pictures we look at; his pictures we read.
