Description

Tate British Artists Series: Introduction to William Blake.

More than a century-and-a-half after his death, William Blake remains a 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 that stand in the way of an easy understanding of the artist’s work. With this fresh’s­ examination of Blake’s unfolding career, he presents an artist with radical and utterly individual vision, deeply concerned with the social, religious and political issues of his age.
