Description

Explore a fresh perspective on the creative methods of one of history's most famous artists. In William Blake and the Art of Engraving (The History of the Book), author Sung provides a detailed examination of William Blake's extant engraved copper plates. This study offers a new interpretation of the artist's working process, challenging long-held beliefs about his technique. While many scholars follow the Romantic ideal that conception and execution happen at the same time, Sung's research suggests otherwise. By looking closely at the physical plates, the text demonstrates that Blake revised and corrected his work more than previously thought. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history of the book, art criticism, and the technical evolution of engraving. It provides a deeper understanding of how Blake's physical labor shaped his final artistic visions.
