MY FAVOURITE PAINTER

From early times Englishmen have been great collectors and travelers. The general level of art in Great Britain has always been high. But it has never reached that of France and Italy. Many greatest foreign masters were attracted to Britain by lavish rewards and honours. Among them were the Flemish Anthony Van Dyck, Harts Holbein of German extraction. They were the originators of the brilliant school of English painting.

William Hogarth is the most colourful figure, whose paintings attract by their singular originality. He was a great English painter and engraver, who is famous for his portrayals of human weaknesses. He was born in London. His father was a schoolmaster. From childhood, William showed a talent for drawing. He was apprenticed to a silverplate engraver until 1720 when he went into his own business as an engraver. He also studied painting at the art school of Sir James Thornhill, and in 1729 he married Thornhill’s daughter.

Hogarth wrote series of paintings which, like acts of a drama, were bound together by a plot. In all his paintings Hogarth tried to do the same things. He wanted his paintings to be like a play. Instead of actors on a stage speaking parts, he wanted his paintings to be his stage and the men and women he drew to be his actors and to tell a story. He tried to have them tell story certain actions and movements. Although he is often humorous in the way in which he drew things, he never softened or made his subjects pleasant if they were not so.

His famous series are “A Harlot’s Progress”, “A Rake’s Progress” and “Marriage a la Mande”. in a few years came another series “Elections”. In them Hogarth displays the English state system, her statesmen and the evil practices going on during election campaigns.

Hogarth didn’t want to follow the vogue and copy the old masters: the truth of life, the everyday reality seemed to be of greater importance. He breaks off with the old style. Hogarth is the creator of his own method. His contemporaries called Hogarth’s style the “modern moral subject”. Hogarth’s realism paved new ways for English art.

William Thackeray in his book “The English Humourists of the 18^th century” describes William Hogarth in the following way: “…he’s a jovial honest London citizen, stout and sturdy man, who has a proper bourgeois scorn for everything pretentious and false”.
