Exhibits "The Soul Exploring the Recesses of the Grave" from Robert Blair's The Grave (London, 1808). William Blake (1757-1827) is now generally recognized as equally a great poet and a great visual artist. During his lifetime however the works for which he is now most acclaimed the self-printed illuminated books of poetry such as the Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience The Marriage of Heaven and Hell , and longer prophetic works like Milton and Jerusalem were known only to a small circle of admirers. To the public of his time his name, if known at all, would be most likely associated with his work as a book illustrator and copy engraver. Blake had been apprenticed as an engraver and it was chiefly in this capacity that he supported himself. In this exhibit we show numerous examples of Blake's commercial work, including such spectacular triumphs of his own designs as his illustrations for Edward Young's

Blake, William Blake, William (b. Nov. 28, 1757, Londond. Aug. 12, 1827, London) English poet, painter, engraver; one of the earliest and greatest figures of Romanticism . The most famous of Blake's lyrical poems is Auguries of Innocence , with its memorable opening stanza: To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. (Biographie en français) "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 a 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 Nov. 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

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. At the age of 14 Blake was apprenticed for seven years to the engraver James Basire. Gothic art and architecture influenced him deeply. After studies at the Royal Academy School, Blake started to produce watercolors and engrave illustrations for magazines. In 1783 he married Catherine Boucher, the daughter of a market gardener. Blake taught her to draw and paint and she assisted him devoutly. In 1774 Blake opened with his wife and younger brother Robert a print shop at 27 Broad Street, but the venture failed after the death of Robert in 1787. Blake's important cultural and social contacts included Henry Fuseli, Reverend A.S. Mathew and his wife, John Flaxman (1755-1826), a sculptor and draftsman, Tom Paine, William Godwin, and Mrs Elizabeth Montagu (1720-1800), married to the wealthy grandson of the earl of Sandwich.

William Blake (1757 - 1827) Considered insane and largely disregarded by his peers, the visionary poet and engraver William Blake is now recognised among the greatest contributors to English literature and art. He was born in Soho, London, where he lived most of his life, and was son to a hosier and his wife, both Dissenters. Blake's early ambitions lay not with poetry but with painting and at the age of 14, after attending drawing school, he was apprenticed to James Basire, engraver. After his seven-year term was complete, Blake studied at the Royal Academy, but he is known to have questioned the aesthetic doctrines of its president, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and his stay there was brief. It nonetheless afforded him friendships with John Flaxman and Henry Fuseli, academics whose work may have influenced him. In 1784 he set up a print shop, but within a few years the business floundered and for the rest of his life Blake eked out a living as an engraver and illustrator. His wife, Catharine, whom he married in 1782, remained faithful and diligent and she helped him to print the illuminated poetry for which he is remembered today. In 1789 he published his Songs of Innocenc e, the gentlest of his lyrics, but the collection was followed by

Start your day with a thought-provoking quote from the world's greatest thinkers and writers. Sign up to The Daily Muse for free. William Blake early visionary poet of the Romantic period William Blake is often considered a prophet that was ignored by his contemporary society. One of the earliest poets of the Romanticism movement, his poetry insisted that readers should realise their perception of reality is crafted by means other than their eyes - that if we relied on superficial vision alone we would be mislead by the myths our world presented. Many have thought Blake mad. He lived on the edge of poverty and died in neglect. Although is poetry received little acclaim while he was alive, Blake's work is now accepted as being some of the most strikingly original bodies of literary work. In addition to his poetric works, Blake was an accomplished painter and engraver. He developed a unique form of illuminated painting.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" En kort introduksjon om William Blake (1757 - 1827) William Blake var en engelsk dikter som ble født i bydelen Soho i London i 1757. Foreldre hans var fattige, og han fikk derfor aldri noen utdannelse. Faren til William Blake, som gav han all den utdanning han noen gang fikk, påvirket allerede i ung alder sønnen med sin interesse for mystikk og magi. Da han var 14 år gammel begynnte han å gå i lære hos en gravør, hvor han raskt avslørte sine kunstner iske begavelse. Det var også på denne tiden han begynnte å skrive sine dikt, som han senere også illustrerte med sine inngraveringer. Dette med illustering ble da videre også hans levebrød, og han illustrerte store verker som "Den Gudommelige Komedie" og "Jobs Bok", sammen med sine egne verker. William Blake var gift med Chatrine Blake, og døde i 1827. Som filosof kan William Blake beskrives som en anti-religiøs og livsbekreftende romantiker, ved at han vender seg mot alt som hemmer fri og naturlig livsutfoldelse. Moralske og religiøse fordommer må bort, ettersom disse sperrer veien til det virkelige livs rikdomm og mystikk. Mye av William Blakes filosfi kan finnes igjen i følgende sitat fra "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell": "... Alle bibeler eller hellige skrifter er årsak til følgende vilfarelser:
