Download or read book William Blake Poet and Painter written by Jean H. Hagstrum and published by Chicago : University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1964 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneer study of William Blake is based on the author's contention that Blake intertwined painting and poetry so successfully that they cannot well be separated. Mr. Hagstrum reveals the intimate relation of Blake's designs, borders, scenes, and colors to the poems they accompany. Beginning with the earliest tiny line engravings -- works produced shortly before the famous "Songs of Innocence" -- and ending with that late masterpiece, the illustrations for the Book of Job, Mr. Hagstrum analyzes all of Blake's major works. His unusual but important method of studying Blake alerts the reader to all the elements of the poet-painter's form. Blake's work is set in context by chapters on medieval illumination, on the art of the High Renaissance, on the emblem of the seventeenth century, and on Blake's own contemporaries. The many illustrations Mr. Hagstrum has chosen include some of the works of Dürer, Raphael, and others who inspired Blake. -- From publisher's description.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to William Blake written by Morris Eaves and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, painter, and engraver William Blake died in 1827 in obscure poverty with few admirers. The attention paid today to his remarkable poems, prints, and paintings would have astonished his contemporaries. Admired for his defiant, uncompromising creativity, he has become one of the most anthologized and studied writers in English and one of the most studied and collected British artists. His urge to cast words and images into masterpieces of revelation has left us with complex, forceful, extravagant, some times bizarre works of written and visual art that rank among the greatest challenges to plain understanding ever created. This Companion aims to provide guidance to Blake s work in fresh and readable introductions: biographical, literary, art historical, political, religious, and bibliographical. Together with a chronology, guides to further reading, and glossary of terms, they identify the key points of departure into Blake s multifarious world and work.
