Was William Blake a Surrealist?
1 Answer
No, William Blake is not usually considered a Surrealist by art historians. Although his paintings, prints and poetry exploring the realm of the unconscious mind influenced the Surrealist movement that started in 1924, his work predates it and was part of 19th-century Romanticism. Some of his most famous artworks include The Ancient of Days, The Ghost of Fleas, Pity, Newton and The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Surrealist art.
