The IU Southeast Library is happy to host a reception for the art show, "Bogarting Hogarth" on Friday, October 10th from 5-6pm in the IU Southeast Library Art Gallery (on the lower level of the library).
Light refreshments will be served.
Bogarting Hogarth will be on display in the IU Southeast Library Art Gallery September 22nd through November 7th 2014.
About Bogarting Hogarth: In 1730’s England, the prints of William Hogarth were big business; his moralist tales were accessible by all. Trained as an engraver in his youth, Hogarth (1697-1764) was a working painter, but gained fame and fortune through his darkly humorous etchings set in London taverns and gambling halls. In these series, easy-to-understand moralist themes were played out in sequence like a comic strip. Sharp social comment elevates the plates into a kind of early political cartoon.
A grant from Indiana University Southeast financed the print exchange “Bogarting Hogarth”, organized by Southern Indiana artist and participating printmaker David Spencer-Pierce. In the accompanying exhibition are eight printmakers’ takes on scenes from Hogarth’s “A Rake’s Progress”.
Spencer-Pierce notes that, “narrative series like Hogarth’s “A Rake’s Progress” and “A Harlot’s Progress” are the “Aesop’s Fables” of printmakers. They are universally recognized examples, familiar to all printmakers, and an attractive subject for a collaborative work.” In this collaborative effort, each artist selected a plate from the “Rake” series to re-imagine. The resulting fresh look at Hogarth’s satirical images is played out in a variety of focus, media, and styles.
Hogarth enjoyed such great popular success with his moralist series that when a rash of counterfeit “Hogarths” hit the market, Parliament enacted the first copyright law, today still nicknamed, “Hogarth’s Law”.
In this exhibition, the new works are displayed side-by-side with the images of Hogarth’s originals. Each retells Hogarth’s tale that explores the decline of an archetypical “rake”, fittingly named Tom Rakewell; poster boy for hard living and hedonism.
