Hogarth, William. Marriage-à-la-mode. [Sechs Bilder, gemalt 1743-1745, vorhanden National Gallery, London]. II : The breakfast scene. Enthält : chinesisches Porzellan auf dem Tee-Tisch, blanc de Chine Porzellan auf dem Cheminée und chinesische Buddhas aus Ton von Yiching Jiangsu. IV : The countess's levee. Enthält : Der schwarze Diener bringt Kaffee in einer chinesischen Porzellan Tasse. Sung, Mei-ying. William Hogarth's Marriage à-la-Mode shows the luxuries of an aristocrat's house including a range of Chinese porcelain prominently displayed above the fireplace. This represents the fashion of the 18th-century British wealthy household, where Chinese ceramic figures, porcelain jars and vases were highly valued and extremely desirable objects for rich collectors. |

Hogarth, William. Taste in high life. [Bild]. At the centre of the picture appears a dandified couple wearing caricature costumes ; the lady's wide crinoline skirt, the man's butterfly bow, his painted Chinese pigtail and muff. The couple are caught in the act of worshipping a dainty morsel of Chinese porcelain. |

Hogarth, William. The analysis of beauty [ID D27291]. "How absolutely void of these turns are the pagodas of China, and what a mean taste runs thro' most of their attempts in painting and sculpture, notwithstanding they finish with such excessive neatness." "There is at present such a thirst after variety, that even paltry imitations of Chinese buildings have a kind of vogue, chiefly on account of their novelty : but not only these, but any other new-invented characters of building might be regulated by proper principles." David Porter : As an outspoken champion of the rococo style, Hogarth would presumably have found in Chinese and Chinese-styled wares more generally a set of decorative principles much in accord with his own. One might reasonably expect Hogarth to recognize and acknowledge the considerable aesthetic appeal of the Chinese goods his readers purchased and admired. Hogarth's criticism of Chinese art on the grounds that it did not adhere to conventions of naturalistic representation was a commonplace one at the time. Although Hogarth rejected a classicist conception of nature as idealized form, he believed strongly that nature, in its infinite variety, was the artist's most trustworthy guide. To the extent, then, that certain genres of Chinese and Chinese-inspired art seemed to flout familiar standards of verisimilitude, they were beyond the pale of even Hogarth's post-classicist sensibilities. Furthermore, the popularity of the Chinese style surely grated on Hogarth's keenly developed sense of aesthetic nationalism. Hogarth's repeated insistence on the worthlessness of the Chinese style, I suggest, is intimately bound up with his perplexing silence on the question of female aesthetic agency. |

Hogarth, William. Anecdotes [ID D27292]. "As to giving premiums to those that design flowers, &c. for silks and linens, let it be recollected that these artisans copy the objects they introduce from nature ; a much surer guide than all the childish and ridiculous absurdities of temples, dragons, pagodas, and other fantastic fripperies, which have been imported from China." |
