title: "To see with our own eyes": Hogarth between native empiricism and a theory of "beauty in form". William Hogarth: The analysis of beauty (London: Printed by John Reeves for the Author, 1753) (FONTES 52)
abstract: FONTES 52 contains a searchable electronic full text of the first edition of William Hogarth’s "Analysis of Beauty" (London 1753). This book represents Hogarth’s most important and most complete art theoretical statement. In this work Hogarth attempts to give the concept of beauty a new and more exact definition – to explain why objects are beautful, and thereby to provide a definite and stable foundation for "taste". The central element of Hogarth’s system is the serpentine "Line of Beauty" (or "Line of Grace"), an abstract concept of formal beauty which Hogarth attempts to illustrate and to prove by reference to many empirically observed examples drawn from nature and life. An introduction examines the treatise in terms of the contrast between Hogarth’s native empiricism and his theory of formal beauty. A summary analysis of the structure and content of the Hogarthian system is attempted. Hogarth’s arguments are mainly contained in the "book" proper (pages 1-153), while he justifes and defends his arguments in terms of tradition in his preface (pages iii-xxii). Detailed descriptions of the editions of the "Analysis" until 1914 are given, and references to later editions and translations are included, as well as citations of literature about Hogarth and his treatise.
