The first thing I'd like to do in this digital portfolio
is to introduce one of my favorite painters. His name is William Blake.
He was born on November 28, 1757 and died on August 12, 1827. He was an
English poet, visionary, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognized during
his lifetime, Blake's work is considered today seminal and significant in
the history of both poetry and the visual arts. I choose to use one of his
images in my home page digital portfolio because I admire his paintings
and poems along with the themes they convey. Though he believed himself
able to converse aloud with Old Testament prophets, and despite his work
in illustrating the Book of Job, this might have made him be seen as crazy
before society. Blake had an enormous affection for the Bible which was
accompanied by hostility for the established Church. In addition, his beliefs
modified by a fascination with Mysticism and the unfolding of the Romantic
Movement around him. |
