Art History with a Difference - William Blake "Romantic, Radical, Visionary" by Jessica Saraga

William Blake fiercely criticised the social problems of his age, which he saw as the result of industrialisation’s materialism and pursuit of profit. While his poetry exposed poverty and exploitation, his art turned toward the mystical, using a personal mythology and distinctive visual language. Though often an outsider, Blake’s creativity never waned. He spent his life expressing his visions, inventing new techniques, and producing work with remarkable energy.
