Printed Material
This exhibition focused on the printed works of Hogarth from the Madden Arnholz Collection. His brilliant satirical prints drew on the preoccupying themes of his time, portraying events and themes which captured the public imagination – often tales of sex or immorality. In the early 18th century Hogarth began his career as a copper-plate engraver for newspapers. This journalistic approach is apparent in all his work, so we created a newspaper as an extended gallery guide – the form of which would add to the context of the show. The exhibition graphics were made up using various printing ornaments.
