Drapery Floating Male Figure Posterior Pushing Romanticist Visionary
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A white haired man in a long, pale robe who flees from us with his hands raised" we are transported into the visionary world of William Blake. The image portrays a male figure, his flowing white hair and ethereal robe billowing behind him as he floats through the scene. With his hands raised in surrender or perhaps desperation, he seems to be fleeing from an unseen force. The composition is filled with symbolism and mystery, typical of Blake's romanticist style. The delicate drapery of the robe adds a sense of movement and drama to the scene, while also hinting at the spiritual nature of the subject matter. The figure's nudity further emphasizes vulnerability and raw emotion. Blake's use of color-printed relief etching with ink and watercolor on paper creates a dreamlike quality that enhances the otherworldly atmosphere. Each brushstroke adds depth and texture to this poetic illustration. This artwork is part of "The First Book of Urizen" published in 1794. It showcases Blake's unique blend of poetry and visual artistry, inviting viewers to delve into their own interpretations and emotions. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, this print continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic narrative and timeless beauty.
