The Arcane Eye of Hogarth Sketchbook, Fantagraphics Books.
There is more to the drawings in this volume than the isolates of the eye can capture; there is the ultimate concern out of which this man has put forth the particulars of his work, there is the spirit transcendent over hand and eye whose authority has left its scent on even the most tentative piece in this collection.
You see throughout these pages, as in Hogarth's perhaps greatest work, Dynamic Light and Shade, brooding presences---bodies leaping like flames, advancing like panthers. Figures are animated by subtle as well as great passions, by energetic gestures and wholehearted pleas, by the mastery that makes an integral arch of sword and man --- voluptuous, spirited work.
---Kenneth Smith from the introduction.
