William Blake: A Study of His Life and Art Work

"William Blake: A Study of His Life and Art Work" by Irene Langridge is a biography that shines a light on the extraordinary life and art of William Blake, an imaginative artist whose genius was not fully appreciated in his time. Langridge introduces Blake as a visionary whose work deserves greater recognition, even years after he passed away. From his early childhood, when he experienced visions that molded his artistic and spiritual outlook, to his artistic education and unique style, the book follows Blake's journey. Instead of following traditional art forms, Blake lets his inner world and imagination guide his creative expressions. By looking at Blake's personality and connections with others, the story shows the battle between his dreams and the restrictions of the real world, setting the scene for a better understanding of his art.
