Remembering Hogarth

Remembering Hogarth
William Hogarth The Analysis of Beauty (London 1753), note Hogarth’s assumption of classical precedent for the serpentine line [p.92]:

...which taste, I am persuaded, my reader will now conceive to have been entirely owing to the perfect knowledge the ancients must have had of the use of the precise serpentine-line.

that precise serpentine-line cannot be anything else than perfect : and that we can find in the desert as well : the perfect and harmonious female backline

... absolutely! ... the most beautiful line in the world and a constant inspiration! ... Watteau, Art Nouveau, Matisse, Moore ... 'the line of beauty' ... it is everywhere in nature ... from the back of a blue petal to the bones of the earth ... something to contemplate, something to celebrate ... and at its most human ... the female form, yes.
