Note on Art
Subject
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on, specifically English artists Thomas Rowlandson and William Hogarth.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman looks at work from English artists Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) and William Hogarth (1697-1764). Rowlandson and Hogarth were near-contemporaries with a comparable interest in class issues of 18th century England. This particular record is an abbreviated list of the artists’ respective social tableaus. Neiman had a longstanding investment in not only class issues but also a kind of “being-in-the-world,” often sketching and painting “live.” This artistic commitment to public life then links the figures. Although the list is in someways a registry of artistic reference, the document should not be seen as providing direct allusion to particular works or composition from Neiman. Instead, the note seems to suggest sort of art historical positioning of his own works in this vein of satire and class consciousness.
