EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "A new Dunciad done with a view of fixing ye fluctuating ideas of taste without preface or introduction" created by Paul Sandby in 1753, we are transported to a satirical world where the concept of art and beauty is playfully dissected. The image serves as a biting commentary on William Hogarth's Analysis of Beauty and his resistance towards establishing a national academy that could rival his own. Within the composition, we see John Rich, a theater manager and friend of Hogarth, pointing towards a painting while accompanied by his pug named Trump. This inclusion adds an element of humor to the scene. The artwork itself mocks Hogarth's pretentiousness and highlights the absurdity surrounding artistic theories and aesthetics. Sandby skillfully employs caricature and cartoon-like elements to convey his criticism. Through exaggerated features and playful lines, he creates an atmosphere that invites viewers to question established notions of taste and artistic authority. This print not only offers us insight into the artistic landscape of 18th-century England but also prompts us to reflect on our own perceptions of art today. It reminds us that ideas around beauty are ever-changing, subject to critique, satire, and personal interpretation. Image source: www. bridgemanimages. com
