The intensity Blake achieved is astonishing, particularly in the most sinister pieces where the heavens are rent and monsters snap
IN THE GRAND new survey at Tate Britain of the prints, engravings, paintings and poetry of William Blake is an enigmatic depiction of Isaac Newton . It is enigmatic because the nude, muscular Newton appears to be sitting on an encrusted rock on the ocean floor. Pink, anemone-like fronds waft gently by his feet and a confounding inky darkness extends behind him; but he is oblivious to all this.
Nor was even his art an unalloyed pleasure: his public frustrated him. Contemporaries did recognise his talent, and his innovative methods and style. By the turn of the 19th century he was even beginning to receive some modest acclaim; but he was unable to fit within the mould the contemporary critics proscribed. The more allegorical and spiritual his work became, the more it confused and even disgusted the general public. This, in turn, made Blake bitter and withdrawn.
