[The Western World's] thinking about itself was formative for modern notions of the divisons of the world. Most European surveys of other civilizations, ...translated the cultures and artifacts of other continents into examples of past European civilizations and created metaphoric correspondences to make the strange familiar in terms of the known. Scholarly thinking now increasingly questions the binaries associated with East and West to recognize the way that these heuristic oppositions required the inevitable contrast between the Americas and Europe on the one hand, and the Levant, India, China, Japan, and Formosa on the other.
William Hogarth war ein englischer Maler und Grafiker der mit schneidender Satire die Gesellschaft des 18. Jahrhunderts kommentierte. Die Biographie von Hogarth ist genauso ungewöhnlich wie seine Grafiken.
Hogarth's Modern Moral Series: The Rake's Progress When Hogarth embarked on his second Progress in 1733, ‘the rake’ was a long established symbol of masculine waywardness and depravity. An inveterate consumer and ‘man of leisure’, the rake of convention fritters his fortune, usually inherited, on sex, drink and gambling. Along the way he amasses huge debts and seduces, impregnates and abandons at least one young woman. As with the prostitute, a literary convention had developed in which the rake starts life as an impressionable young man from the country who comes to the city after inheriting money and swiftly embarks on a dissolute life. His fate typically involved venereal disease, debtor’s prison and death.
The works of William Hogarth, currently the subject of Tate Britain's 'Hogarth' exhibition, provide an exceptional record of life in Hanoverian England.

Read the lives behind the portraits for a glimpse of Hogarth's world—from charity and politeness to corruption and vice.
