London Lives: Hogarth’s "Industry and Idleness" (1747)

Meredith Gamer picks up the narrative at mid-century when Hogarth – by this time a well-established artist – began producing a new kind of pictorial series, designed to reach a broad and varied audience of viewers and consumers. The first, Industry and Idleness, narrates the divergent fates of two London apprentices as they make their way in a world filled with opportunity and risk. In this lecture, Meredith explores each of the series’ twelve plates, as well as the tensions that underlie their seemingly simple moral message. William Hogarth was an English painter and printmaker. Born in London in 1697, Hogarth went on to undertake an apprenticeship as an engraver, which he later abandoned. He is most noted for his serialised works satirising society and morality. His works became hugely popular due to the mass production and distribution of his etchings. In this series, Mark Hallett (Director of Studies, Paul Mellon Centre), Meredith Gamer (Assistant Professor, Columbia University), and Elizabeth Robles (Lecturer, University of Bristol) will introduce you to Hogarth and his most noted works.
