## Bio

Hogarth was born into a lower-middle-class London family on 10 November 1697, and his father's imprisonment for debt - an episode that shadowed him - gave his work its hard edge. He apprenticed with an engraver but never finished, instead drawing on French and Italian influences to forge a new mode: satirical caricatures and what he called "modern moral subjects," realistic yet bawdy picture-sequences like A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress, and Marriage A-la-Mode. Mass-produced as prints, they became wildly popular in his lifetime, and Charles Lamb later said you didn't just look at Hogarth's pictures - you read them, dense with "the teeming, fruitful, suggestive meaning of words." He died on 26 October 1764, by far the most significant English artist of his generation.
