Lars Tharp - Honorary Degree - University of Leicester
The University of Leicester has conferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters upon Lars Tharp.
Lars Tharp is a ceramic historian, consultant and broadcaster. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and came to England in 1960. He was educated in Leicester at Wyggeston Grammar School for Boys, and read Archaeology and Anthropology at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. In 1977 he joined Sotheby's in its Chinese Department, eventually becoming Auctioneer and a Director.
In 1986 he was invited onto the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow as a resident ‘expert’. He has appeared in all subsequent series - the 2016 series is the 30th anniversary of his working on the show. He is particularly drawn to Chinese ceramics of the Song Dynasty and lectures throughout the world on the Europe–China/Japan trade, and has made two BBC films on this, Treasures of Chinese Porcelain and China in Six Easy Pieces.
In 2003, York Museums Trust commissioned him to devise and curate three ceramic exhibitions, in York, Wakefield and Scarborough. He is a member of the steering group of York’s Centre of Ceramic Art (short-listed for this year’s Annual Art Fund’s Museum of the Year Prize), and is Honorary President of the International Ceramics Fair.
In the 1990s, he devised an exhibition on Ceramics in Hogarth’s World at the International Ceramics Fair, London and at the Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston, both accompanied by his book Hogarth’s China (1997). After serving as its Director he today represents London’s Foundling Museum as its Hogarth Curator, and he is the former Vice-Chairman of the Hogarth Trust.
He is currently a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and a Freeman of the City of London and serves on the Court of the Worshipful Company of Weavers. He is a Vice-President of the Leicester Archaeological and Historical Society, President of the Leicestershire Society of Artists and patron of Hope (Cancer Research) and of the Leicestershire International Music Festival.

William Hogarth - Paintings by William Hogarth in the Tate Britain, London, England, UK.
William Hogarth FRSA (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called modern moral subjects, perhaps best known being his moral series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress and Marriage A-la-Mode. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as Hogarthian.
Hogarth was born in London to a lower-middle-class family. In his youth he took up an apprenticeship where he specialised in engraving. His father underwent periods of mixed fortune, and was at one time imprisoned in lieu of outstanding debts; an event that is thought to have informed William's paintings and prints with a hard edge.
Influenced by French and Italian painting and engraving, Hogarth's works are mostly satirical caricatures, sometimes bawdily sexual, mostly of the first rank of realistic portraiture. They became widely popular and mass-produced via prints in his lifetime, and he was by far the most significant English artist of his generation. Charles Lamb deemed Hogarth's images to be books, filled with the teeming, fruitful, suggestive meaning of words. Other pictures we look at; his pictures we read.

Leicester Square (/ˈlɛstər/ ( listen) LES-tər) is a pedestrianised square in the West End of London, England. It was laid out in 1670 and is named after the contemporary Leicester House, itself named after Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester.
The square was originally a gentrified residential area, with tenants including Frederick, Prince of Wales and artists William Hogarth and Joshua Reynolds. It became more down-market in the late 18th century as Leicester House was demolished and retail developments took place, becoming a centre for entertainment. Several major theatres were established in the 19th century, which were converted to cinemas towards the middle of the next. Leicester Square holds a number of nationally important cinemas such as the Odeon Leicester Square, Empire, Leicester Square, which are frequently used for film premieres (and the now closed Odeon West End). The nearby Prince Charles Cinema is popular for showing cult films and marathon film runs. The square remains a popular tourist attraction, including hosting events for the Chinese New Year.
The square has always had a park in its centre, which was originally Lammas land. The park's fortunes have varied over the centuries, reaching near dilapidation in the mid-19th century after changing ownership several times. It was restored under the direction of Albert Grant, which included the construction of four new statues and a fountain of William Shakespeare. The square was extensively refurbished and remodelled for the 2012 London Olympics, costing more than £15m and taking over 17 months to complete.

藝苑掇英 William Hogarth 威廉·霍加斯 (1697-1764) Rococo British
tonykwk39@gmail.com
William Hogarth was born in 1697 near the East End cattle market of Smithfield. His father, Richard Hogarth, made an unsuccessful attempt to open a Latin-speaking coffeehouse, which left the family bankrupt, Richard confined to Fleet Prison, and the young William fending for himself.
After apprenticing at a silver workshop, where he mastered the art of engraving, Hogarth opened his own print shop. The artist’s first widespread notice came with the publication of The South Sea Scheme (1721), ridiculing the greed and corruption of stock market speculators. A Harlot's Progress (1732) brought Hogarth tremendous success and celebrity, leading to a second morality series, A Rake's Progress (1734).
Throughout the 1730s and 1740s, the artist’s reputation grew and so did his interest in social and moral reform. Hogarth’s work took on a distinctly propagandist tone, directed at the urbanization of London and the city’s problems with crime, prostitution, gambling, and alcoholism.
Industry and Idleness (1747) was designed to encourage young boys to develop a strong Protestant work ethic and thus achieve success. Beer Street and Gin Lane (1751), directed at the widespread sale and consumption of alcohol, were followed by The Four Stages of Cruelty (1751), which condemned rampant acts of cruelty to animals.
Hogarth died in 1764 in his home in Leicester Fields, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy. Working almost entirely outside the academic art establishment, he revolutionized the popular art market and the role of the artist. Hogarth strived to create works of great aesthetic beauty but also ones that would help to make London a better city for future generations.
威廉·霍加斯 William Hogarth於1697年出生在史密斯菲爾德的東區牛市附近。他的父親理查德·霍加斯（Richard Hogarth）未能成功地開辦一家講拉丁語的咖啡館，讓家人破產，理查德被限制在艦隊監獄，年輕的威廉為自己辯護。
在銀色工作室學習後，他掌握了雕刻藝術，Hogarth開設了自己的印刷店。這位藝術家的首次廣泛通知是出版了南海計劃（1721年），嘲笑股市投機者的貪婪和腐敗。 Harlot的進步（1732）為Hogarth帶來了巨大的成功和名人，導致了第二個道德系列，A Rake's Progress（1734）。
在整個1730年代和1740年代，藝術家的聲譽越來越高，他對社會和道德改革的興趣也在增長。霍加斯的作品採用了鮮明的宣傳語調，針對倫敦的城市化以及城市犯罪，賣淫，賭博和酗酒等問題。
Industry and Idleness（1747）旨在鼓勵年輕男孩發展強大的新教職業道德，從而取得成功。針對廣泛銷售和消費酒精的啤酒街和金酒巷（1751年）緊隨其後的是殘酷四階段（1751年），該階段譴責猖獗的虐待行為。
霍格特於1764年在萊斯特菲爾茲的家中去世，留下了非凡的遺產。幾乎完全在學術藝術機構之外工作，他徹底改變了流行的藝術市場和藝術家的角色。霍加斯努力創造出極具美感的作品，同時也有助於使倫敦成為後代更美好的城市。
Chiswick: Hogarth's House, Hogarth Lane, Hounslow, London
Hogarth's House is the former country home of the 18th century English artist William Hogarth in Chiswick, adjacent to the A4. The House now belongs to the London Borough of Hounslow and is open to visitors as a historic house museum free of charge. Chiswick is now one of London's western suburbs, but in the 18th century it was a large village or small town quite separate from the metropolis, but within easy reach of it. Today the house is a Grade 1 listed building.
