It might be the case with a lot of artists, past and present, that their personal traits would make them difficult to accept.

Imagine meeting a fellow like Blake today – one would be hard pressed in accepting him as a friend or colleague. He would have been a very strange person by current standards…

And yet we seem to have a greater need for artists like him than we ever have. The romantic spirit seems to be under threat from all sides. I wonder how many Blakes are out there now – struggling to find an audience.

Hello. I wonder if anyone saw a painting by Blake, possibly a watercolor, in a Sunday New York Times Book Review from this year. I can’t even remember what the article was about, only that I really wanted to read it, but lost it. I tried the library, but oddly, had no luck. Thanks:)

Charley, another finae post and an excellent distillation of Blake the man and artist.

Looove William Blake, what a guy.

Printer, writer, poet and artist. He was clearly one of the devils.

Love the site, check it every day. Keep up good work.

The great red Dragon was very important in the first story with Hannibal Lecter (if I remember good) :-) So the inflence of Blake is not dead :-))
