Marriage à-la-mode (Hogarth)
''Marriage A-la-Mode'' is a series of six pictures painted by William Hogarth between 1743 and 1745, intended as a pointed skewering of 18th-century society. They show the disastrous results of an ill-considered marriage for money or social status, and satirize patronage and aesthetics. The pictures are held in the National Gallery in London. This series was not received as well as his other moral tales, '' A Harlot's Progress'' (1732) and '' A Rake's Progress'' (1735), and when the paintings were finally sold in 1751, it was for a much lower sum than the artist had hoped for. Overview In ''Marriage A-la-Mode'' Hogarth challenges the traditional view that the nobility and the rich live virtuous lives, and satirises arranged marriages. In each piece, he shows the young couple and their family and acquaintances at their worst: engaging in affairs, drinking, gambling, and numerous other vices. This is regarded by some as his finest project, and the best example of his serially-pl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Town And Country (album)
''Town and Country'' is the second studio album by rock band Humble Pie, released in November 1969. It was released only in the UK. Background The album was conceived at band member Steve Marriott's 16th-century rural cottage "Arkesden" in Moreton, Essex, England. Most, if not all, of the material dated back to recordings in the spring and early summer of 1969, when the band recorded as much as three albums' worth of material (the remaining recordings were eventually compiled and released in 1999 on the bands' ''The Immediate Years: Natural Born Boogie'' collection). Production and composition ''Town and Country'' offered a more pastoral approach than the more straightforward "heavy" progressive sound prevalent on their debut album, which had been released two months earlier. Like the band's early live shows, which opened with an acoustic set before returning with electric guitars in the second half of the show, ''Town and Country'' displayed a mix of acoustic ballads, country ...
