William Blake
English Romantic painter, illustrator, printmaker, poet, watercolorist, draftsman, philosopher & writer
born 1757 - died 1827

Also known as: Uil'iam Bleik.
Brother of: Robert Blake (1762-1787).
Husband of: Catherine Blake (c.1762-1831).
Collaborated with: Catherine Blake (c.1762-1831)

"I do not behold the outward creation... it is a hindrance and not action." Thus William Blake--painter, engraver, and poet--explained why William Blake’s work was filled with religious visions rather than with subjects from everyday life. Few people in William Blake’s time realized that Blake expressed these visions with a talent that approached genius. William Blake 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 William Blake’s time.

Blake was born on Nov. 28, 1757, in London. William Blake’s 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 William Blake worked in the shop until William Blake was 14. When William Blake saw the boy's talent for drawing, Blake's father apprenticed him to an engraver.

At 25 Blake married Catherine Boucher. William Blake taught her to read and write and to help him in William Blake’s 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, William Blake did much work for which other artists and engravers got the credit. Blake was a poor businessman, and William Blake preferred to work on subjects of William Blake’s own choice rather than on those that publishers assigned him.

A follower of Emanuel Swedenborg, who offered a gentle and mystic interpretation of Christianity, Blake wrote poetry that largely reflects Swedenborgian views. Songs of Innocence (1789) shows life as it seems to innocent children. Songs of Experience (1794) tells of a mature person's realization of pain and terror in the universe. TWilliam Blake’s book contains William Blake’s famous `Tiger! Tiger! Burning Bright'. Milton (1804-08) and Jerusalem (1804-20) are longer and more obscure works. Blake died on Aug. 12, 1827.

William Blake (1757-1827) est le point culminant esoterique de l'art figure du romantisme anglais. Ses travaux se rapprochent parfois d'une facon tres surprenante de ceux de l'Allemand du Nord Runge, de meme que ses idees, fecondees par Paracelse, Swedenborg, Lavater et surtout Bohme, offrent plus d'une concordance avec le romantisme primitif allemand. Car Blake n'etait pas seulement un artiste. Poete visionnaire, il y avait en lui quelque chose de l'esprit des prophetes et des mystiques. Il se distinguait par la meme attitude speculative et intransigeante. Sa philosophie se fondait sur l'opposition de l'imagination et de la raison, et cette antithese etait aussi a ses yeux celle du Bien et du Mal. Il n'admettait que l'intuition veritablement divine, qui transcendait la difference entre realite et surrealite. Dans ses propres ecrits poetiques---par exemple le Marriage of Heaven and Hell (``Mariage du Ciel et de l'Enfer'') de 1790-1791, ou les Songs of Innocence and of Experience (``Chants de l'Innocence et de l'Experience'') de 1789-1794---comme dans ses interpretations tres personnelles de la Bible, de Dante et de Milton, il donna a ces conceptions une expression aphoristique.

Son activite d'artiste etait entierement au service de la propagation de ses idees. Il s'agit exclusivement d'illustration. Que Blake ait du s'opposer a l'art officiel et au classicisme des academies va de soi. Plutot il beneficia de l'influence de Mortimer et de Barry, ainsi que de son ami Fuseli. Ses visions et ses reves exigeaient neanmoins un idiome technique et stylistique original. Au lieu de l'huile, Blake eut recours a une peinture a tempera evoquant la fresque, ou prefera l'aquarelle. Mais c'est bien dans la gravure qu'il a donne le meilleur de lui-meme. Ce Londonien de naissance, qui ne quitta que tres rarement sa ville, avait recu une excellente formation de metier: cinq ans d'ecole de dessin et sept ans de travail dans un atelier de gravure. Il fallait le noter, car ses feuilles, executees selon un procede d'eau-forte particulier, le plus souvent coloriees et faisant frequemment l'effet de gravures sur bois, se situent au-dela de toute convention.

Image et verbe se fondent dans une unite qui ne s'etait plus vue depuis le Moyen Age. L'ensemble de la composition est determine par un rythme transcendant, auquel doivent se soumettre la nature representee, les elements, les plantes et les etres humains. Les corps s'inflechissent dans un tourbillon comme s'ils appartenaient a des creatures astrales, la force expressive etant souvent accentuee par le parallelisme des figures. Ignore de son vivant, Blake, avec ces moyens, n'a pas seulement recolte l'admiration des pre-raphaelites et anticipe sur des formes essentielles de l'Art Nouveau ou du Jugendstill de l'epoque 1900, mais suscite vers le milieu du XXe siecle une nouvelle vague d'enthousiasme aupres des esprits sensibles à son art.
