William Blake
How William Blake came to create this masterpiece is the focus of this book, which explores the turbulent path of his career as well as the intriguing creative process that led to the "Book of Job" engravings. Six of Blake's delicate watercolors devoted to the story of Job serve as an introduction to the engravings, which are paired with his preliminary sketches and several later watercolors. Malcolm Cormack's commentary discusses the imagery of the plates, while David Bindman's essay links them to Blake's other philosophical works. Together, they reveal why these engravings are considered by many to be Blake's most important work as a graphic artist. -- From publisher's description.
Catching Sight
This collection sheds new light on a common but often overlooked contribution of British art: the sporting print. Highly sought after during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these prints endure today as vivid, direct, and even witty symbols of English culture. Catching Sight features more than eighty prints and three essays that go beyond the symbolism to examine these works from both art-historical and social perspectives. Malcolm Cormack details the production and sale of sporting prints; Mitchell Merling explores the aesthetic implications of the sophisticated visual languages employed by sporting artists; and Corey Piper analyzes the meaning of the prints in the larger context of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century rural society.
