Just an incredible book, but hard to describe. It’s about much more than a misunderstood artist. In order to understand what an iconoclast William Blake was, you need a deeper understanding of how others view reality, then and now.
John Higgs deftly weaves discussions of Einstein’s theory of relativity or the nature of dualism into commentary on a fascinating artist’s life and philosophy. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read and it was glorious. As a philosophical, science-loving artist myself, I highly recommend this book if this description resonates with you.
