William Hogarth- "Before" and "After"

Keith wanted to bring these paintings by William Hogarth (c.1730's) to your attention. They are entitled "Before" and "After" which speaks to the before and after conversations which are present in the ten scenes of Reigen.

Keith also wanted to highlight this quote from a review by Joan Bunke, used in the article "The Reception of Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen" by Gerd K. Schneider:

"Vienna's glossy, phony veneer and the rot spreading under it were Schnitzler's targets. Ruta's production is too much corruption and too little veneer," (85).
