Note on Art
Subject
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman on the artwork of English artist William Hogarth.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman provides a remark on artist Willam Hogarth. The record contains three sections: first, a comment on Hogarth’s class consciousness, second, anecdotal evidence of the artist’s draw to satire, and third, a citing of a study of Shrimp Girl (1740-45). Shrimp Girl, the painting, depicts a woman peddling shellfish, a job typically asigned to female relatives of fishmongers. This subject matter, diverging from the aristocratic portraiture that was in vogue, then testifies to Hogarth’s interest in the common man. Neiman, through writing this note, draws a connection between his work’s and his predecessor's, positioning himself in a lineage of illustration, satire, and attentiveness to class. The record was most likely for personal use.
