    Die Darstellung von Hölle und Himmel in Tod und Jenseits in der Kunst

    October 28, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Seit Grabdenkmäler auf den Gräbern errichtet wurden, hat die Vorstellung vom Tod und vom Leben nach dem Tod einen wichtigen Stellenwert in der Kunstwelt erlangt. In diesem Buch untersucht Victoria Charles, wie die Kunst im Laufe der Jahrhunderte der Spiegel dieser Fragestellungen zum Jenseits geworden ist.

    The depiction of Hell and Heaven in Art of the Eternal

    October 26, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Since the first funerary statues were placed in the first sepulchres, the ideas of death and the afterlife have always held a prominent place at the heart of the art world. In this work, Victoria Charles analyses how, through the centuries, art has become the reflection of these interrogations linked to mankind’s fate and the hereafter.

    Shelley’s art Musings – Spotlight on William Blake

    December 22, 2020 / 0 Comments

    When I think about William Blake, I instantly think of the film “Red Dragon” – you know the one where the character Francis Dolarhyde is obsessed with the painting and kills his family to try and gain the same strength as the creature depicted.  The film was inspired by the book “Red Dragon” by Thomas Harris and was a lead into the Hannibal Lector stories.  While this is where the majority of us will recognise the work from, Blake was more than just a painter, he was also a poet and a printmaker, who turned his back on formalised religion and created his own personal complex mythology.  Blake was largely…

    Blake connaissait déjà le Coronavirus en 1795

    April 10, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Le texte ci-dessous est l’extrait du livre William Blake: écrit par Osbert Burdett, publié par Parkstone International. La magie singulière de Blake consistait à attiser les sentiments tout en s’adressant, apparemment, à la raison. La clé réside dans l’assimilation qu’il faisait entre « intelligence » et « imagination ». Sa propre prose fournit le meilleur vernis pour sa poésie et ses idées axiomatiques sont simples. « L’énergie est l’éternel délice » ; « Le Bien est le passif qui se soumet à la Raison. Le Mal est l’actif qui prend source dans l’Énergie. Bien est Ciel. Mal est Enfer. » Ce faisant, Blake fait allusion à Milton et proteste, comme tous…

    Wir bitten um einen Kommentar über: William Blake kannte bereits in 1795 den Coronavirus

    April 7, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Der untenstehende Text ist ein Auszug aus dem William Blake von Osbert Burdett, herausgegeben von Parkstone International. Blakes wundersamer Zauber ging davon aus, Gefühle aufzuwühlen, wo scheinbar der Verstand angesprochen wurde. Der Schlüssel liegt hier in seiner Gleichsetzung von „Verstand“ und „Imagination“. Seine eigenen Prosaschriften sind das beste Referenzmaterial zu seiner Lyrik und seine axiomatischen Vorstellungen sind überaus schlicht: „Energie ist ewige Freude;“ „Gut ist das Passive, das der Vernunft gehorcht. Böse ist das Aktive, das der Energie entspringt. Gut ist Himmel. Böse ist Hölle.“ Somit behauptete Blake – in Anlehnung an Milton, und sich wie alle Mystiker, einschließlich Bunyan25, dagegen erhebend, Religion mit Moral zu verwechseln –, dass die Begriffe „gut“…

    William Blake already knew about the Coronavirus in 1795

    March 27, 2020 / 0 Comments

    The text below is the excerpt from the book William Blake, written by Osbert Burdett, published by Parkstone International. Blake’s peculiar magic was to stir the feelings when appearing to address the mind. His identification of “intelligence” with “imagination” is the key. His own prose provides the best glosses on his poetry, and his axiomatic ideas are simple. “Energy is eternal delight;” “Good is the passive that obeys reason. Evil is the active springing from energy. Good is heaven. Evil is hell.” Thus, taking a hint from Milton, and protesting as all mystics, including Bunyan, have protested that religion is not to be confused with morality, Blake asserted that the words good…

    The Greatness of William Blake

    November 30, 2015 / 0 Comments

    1. There are many William Blakes, but mine arrived with the tigers in the 1960s. The first line I ever read by Blake was not in a book, but laid out in thick white paint (or should I say illuminated) along a brick wall in Silver Street, Cambridge, England, in 1968. It was not poetry, but prose: “The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.” It sent a strange shiver down my spine, as it did for thousands of other university students in England and America that year. It turns out that, according to The New York Times of December 28, 1968, exactly the same line from…

    Malos tiempos para los vampiros

    La primera película de la que tengo memoria es Drácula (la de 1931, con el gran Bela Lugosi en lo que se convertiría su obsesión) a la tierna edad de 4 años. Mi padre, sentado a mi lado, estaba supuestamente encargado de avisarme cuando algo terrorífico iba a pasar. Pero como ya sabéis, no te puedes fiar de un adulto tomando café, así que me la tragué entera y verdadera, para delicia de mis terrores nocturnos. El caso es que de ahí me quedó cierto gusto por lo oscuro que más tarde me llevó a Bécquer, Poe, Lovecraft, Mary Shelley, William Blake,… y cuando tuve edad para apreciar el arte…

    «La ilustración es algo más que el ornato del libro, ya que nos ofrece un comentario gráfico de su contenido un reflejo de la sociedad en la que apareció el libro y, en algunos casos, puede constituir principal motivo de interés.» Antes del cómic y el manga, antes de que la gente pensara que un niño necesita de dibujos para entender un texto y con ello colocara los libros ilustrados en una categoría pueril (sensación que los lectores de cómics conocen perfectamente), estos ya existían. ¡Los primeros datan ni más ni menos que del Antiguo Egipto! Se hicieron especialmente populares durante la Edad Media (si tenemos en cuenta la cantidad…

    The Power of Books

    April 29, 2013 / 0 Comments

    We all had that moment in childhood didn’t we… when the pretty pictures in books suddenly came second to what the pages were actually saying. (Well, for some people, maybe that hasn’t happened yet.) But for a time, shorter or longer depending on the individual, it was a book’s illustrations which were a big factor in what drew us to a particular book.
