This dissertation considers the prints by South African artists, William Kentridge,
Deborah Bell, and Robert Hodgins for the Hogarth in Johannesburg exhibition (1987) in
the context of William Hogarth’s historical suites of prints referred to in the title of the
exhibition, and contemporary theories about Sequential Art and Narrative.
Produced for the artists at The Caversham Press of Malcolm Christian in KwaZulu-Natal,
particular emphasis is placed on the images created by Deborah Bell, Robert Hodgins and
William Kentridge (such as Industry and Idleness, Marriage-a-la-mode and A Rake’s
Progress), and shown in their combined exhibition Hogarth in Johannesburg, in 1987.
