 Following a few preliminary background statements regarding William Hogart
 h’s (1697 – 1764) background as a painter\, engraver\, satirist\, cart
 oonist and writer\, Professor Stevenson’s presentation will focus on one
  group of Hogarth’s paintings:  “Marriage a-la-Mode.”  We as observe
 rs get to see a set of six paintings that depict the decline and self-dest
 ruction of the horrors that ensue when someone marries for money..  The pa
 intings are elaborate and rich in depicting many many touches of what the 
 world of the the British wealthy was like in the mid-eighteenth century.  
 So\, John Stevenson wants to focus his talk on this set of paintings—the
 y tell a great (and horrific) story and  make for great conversation\, so 
 they will be my primary focus.  \n\nSpeaker Bio\, Professor John Stevenson
