"Among William Blake's (1757-1827) most widely recognized and highly regarded works
as an artist are twelve color printed drawings, or monoprints, conceived and executed
in 1795. This book investigates these masterworks, explaining Blake's technique--one
he essentially reinvented, unaware of 17th-century precursors--to show that these
works were produced as paintings, and played a crucial role in Blake's development
as a painter. Using material and historical analyses, Joseph Viscomi argues that the
monoprints were created as autonomous paintings rather than as illustrations for Blake's
books with an intended viewing order. Enlivened with bountiful illustrations, the
text approaches the works within the context of their time, not divorced from ideas
expressed in Blake's writings but not illustrative of or determined by those writings."--jacquette
