More than a century and a half after his death, William Blake (1757-1827) remains a remarkable and controversial figure. Equally gifted as poet and painter, he produced work as arresting for its beauty as for its strangeness. For some he is an inspiring genius, a source of creativity and insight. For others he is an unsettling eccentric. William Vaughan explores the contradictions of character that stand in the way of an easy understanding of the artist's work. Through an enlightening examination of Blake's unfolding career, he presents an artist with radical and utterly individual vision, deeply concerned with the social, political, and religious issues of his age.

Book Description Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Condition: Wie neu. Unpaginiert (91 Seiten). With 40 coloured Plates. Very Good. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Beiliegend ein Zeitungsartikel von Karl Heinz Bohrer: Geometrie des schrecklichen Ausdrucks. William Blakes gezeichnete Visionen - Eine Ausstellung in der Londoner Tate Gallery. - William Blake (* 28. November 1757 in London; 12. August 1827 ebenda) war ein englischer Dichter, Naturmystiker, Maler und der Erfinder der Reliefradierung. Sowohl sein künstlerisches als auch sein literarisches Werk wurde von seinen Zeitgenossen weitgehend abgelehnt. Erst Mitte des 19. Jh. wurden seine sehr innovativen Arbeiten von den Präraffaeliten entdeckt, fanden allgemein Anerkennung und später auch in der Popkultur Verbreitung. . Künstlerische Arbeit: Seine künstlerische Ausbildung erhielt Blake durch den Kupferstecher James Basire, der eine sehr traditionelle Arbeitsweise pflegte. Später vervollständigte er seine Ausbildung bei dem Bildhauer John Flaxman und dem Maler Johann Heinrich Füssli. Blake war als Zeichner, Maler und Kupferstecher tätig. Er schwärmte für die Gotik und ließ in seiner frühen Zeit nur Raffael, Michelangelo und Albrecht Dürer als Maler gelten. Er hatte Visionen, namentlich von Männern alter Zeiten oder von Tierseelen (z.B. der eines Flohes), die er zeichnete. Als radikaler Künstler wurde Blake zum Ein-Mann-Unternehmer, der seine Bücher im Alleingang herstellte: Er schrieb die Verse, entwarf die Bilder, fertigte die Druckplatten nach einem von ihm erfundenen Verfahren (Reliefradierung) an und kolorierte, von seiner Frau unterstützt, die Drucke. Auf diese Weise entzog er sich kommerziellen Zwängen, verlor aber einen Teil seines Publikums. Auch unter dürftigen Lebensbedingungen fand er in seiner Kunst Erfüllung. Wenn es je einen glücklichen Menschen unter den Intellektuellen gab", so sein Biograph Peter Ackroyd, dann war es dieser Künstler." Noch auf dem Sterbebett arbeitete er an einer neuen Version seines Gemäldes Und Gott erschuf die Welt. Seine letzten Worte seien gewesen: Ich gehe in ein Land, das ich schon immer sehen wollte".[4] .
