Reviews

'Hogarth's Hidden Parts' is a volume of immense scholarship, based on exhaustive and thoughtful readings in the literature of art and social history () (T)he illustrations to Mr. Krysmanski's book are generous and helpful; in all, the volumes offer 304 images, some of them arcane and difficult to find. The book is carefully and exhaustively indexed, devoting fifty pages to citing themes, artists, museums, collections, and historical figures; it is notably generous in how it cites and credits modern scholars. In all these respects, 'Hogarth's Hidden Parts' stands as a lively, iconoclastic commentary that must be consulted and reckoned with by any serious art hstorian.
