The Analysis of Beauty : Written with a View of Fixing the Fluctuating Ideas of Taste

Author:	William Hogarth
Publisher:	London : [publisher not identified], 1753.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	This volume, published in 1753, was Hogarth's grand treatise on beauty, design and taste and was intended to help educate the masses on how to perceive art. His most prominent idea is the line of beauty, which is an s-shaped line that can be seen?set inside a pyramid?on the title page.
