William Blake, by Martin Butlin. 1978 softcover. 164 pages, nice condition.
A catalog of the artist’s exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London. Illustrated throughout, mostly in black & white and with 17 color plates. William Blake (1757 – 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker. Although Blake was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, he came to be highly regarded by later critics and readers for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work. Largely unrecognized during his life, Blake has become a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age.
