William Hogarth "Peregrinations"

A few extracts from Andrew Graham-Dixon's superb TV documentary "Hogarth's Progress", about the great British artist William Hogarth. These extracts feature Andrew Graham-Dixon and the historian David Bindman discussing Hogarth's legendary series of mass-marketed engravings "A Harlot's Progress". The video also features a few brief excerpts, with discussion by the writer Jenny Uglow, from "Will The Real Mr Hogarth" - the artist Gerald Scarfe's televised recreation of Hogarth's "Peregrinations" along the North Kent Coast. Andrew Graham-Dixon characterises Hogarth's culture of opposition as "unpretentiousness, taken to the point of antagonism".
