William Blake (1757-1827) 'William Blake is distinct, and stands alone' - Walter Crane The visionary painter and poet William Blake was born in London and sent as a boy to the Paris Drawing School in the Strand. When aged 14, he was apprenticed to James Basire, an engraver, for whom he worked until age 20. He then studied in the RA Schools, and started illustration work. He marrried Catherine Boucher in 1782. In 1784 he was able to set up his own shop to sell prints, and began to publish the long series of books of his own text and drawings. He was his own calligrapher, illuminator and miniaturist, and visionary poet. The first was The Songs of Innocence . He lived in Felpham, Sussex from 1800-1804, but otherwise resided in London for the rest of his life. Blake had many followers, including Edward Calvert and Samuel Palmer. As well, Blake's work was a great source of inspiration to Rossetti and the Pre-Raphaelites . In his books he was the first to combine text and illustrations in an organic, harmonious manner in a mass produced book, achieving an almost medieval effect. Therefore he was the precursor of the enthusiastic page designs of 19th Century artists such as Walter Crane and William Morris . His technique of working with the line alone, in keeping with the nature of the material (wood), rather than trying to imitate other techniques by using cross-hatching or other shading effects, was revived by, among others, the

William Blake (English, 1757-1827) The Angel of the Revelation ca.1803–5 Watercolor, brush and gray wash, pen and black ink over graphite on paper. 15 7/16 x 10 1/4 in. English poet-painter William Blake , a somewhat reclusive visionary artist, produced and published his own books with engraved texts and hand-colored illustrations. Themes of obscure religious and mythical stories, man's quest for the divine, permeate all of Blake's writings and paintings while elements of Michalangelo and the Mannerist school and the pre-Rennaissance book illuminations are evident in content of his work. Blake had no use for the visible world around us, relying on his own "inner vision" and inspiration, denying reason as being ultimately destructive to this own "inner vision".

British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. He joined for a time the Swedenborgian Church of the New Jerusalem in London and considered Newtonian science to be superstitious nonsense. Misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist and it was left to later generations to recognize his importance. To see a world in a grain of sand And heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. (from 'Auguries of Innocence') William Blake was born in London, where he spent most of his life. His father was a successful London hosier and attracted by the doctrines of Emmanuel Swedenborg. Blake was first educated at home, chiefly by his mother. His parents encouraged him to collect prints of the Italian masters, and in 1767 sent him to Henry Pars' drawing school. From his early years, he experienced visions of angels and ghostly monks, he saw and conversed with the angel Gabriel, the Virgin Mary, and various historical figures.

William Blake (1757-1827) The Tyger Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare sieze the fire? Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger, Tyger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

74. Poetry Today Online : Classic Poets: William Blake Prospect Image. Classical Poet William Blake (17571827) By Roberto Quintos,Contributing Writer. I do not behold the outward creation http://poetrytodayonline.com/JAN00cp.html

January 2000 Classical Poet: William Blake (1757-1827) By: Roberto Quintos , Contributing Writer "I do not behold the outward creation... it is a hindrance and not action." Thus William Blakepainter, engraver, and poetexplained why his work was filled with religious visions rather than with subjects from everyday life. Few people in his time realized that Blake expressed these visions with talent that approached genius. He lived in near poverty and died unrecognized. Today, however, Blake is acclaimed one of England's great figures of art and literature and one of the most inspired and original painters of his time. Blake was born on November 28, 1757, in London. His father ran a hosiery shop. William, the third of five children, went to school only long enough to learn to read and write, and then he worked in the shop until he was 14. When he saw the boy's talent for drawing, Blake's father apprenticed him to an engraver. At 25 Blake married Catherine Boucher. He taught her to read and write and to help him in his work. They had no children. They worked together to produce an edition of Blake's poems and drawings, called 'Songs of Innocence.' Blake engraved both words and pictures on copper printing plates. Catherine made the printing impressions, hand-colored the pictures, and bound the books. The books sold slowly, for a few shillings each. Today a single copy is worth many thousands of dollars. Blake's fame as an artist and engraver rests largely on a set of 21 copperplate etchings to illustrate the Book of Job in the Old Testament. However, he did much work for which other artists and engravers got the credit. Blake was a poor businessman, and he preferred to work on subjects of his own choice rather than on those that publishers assigned him.
