49: William Blake • On Vision's Wing • Part 3: The Gods of William Blake
Why did William Blake create his own gods? What does Blake's cosmology teach us about humanity? What role does Blake's visual art serve in fulfilling his creative vision?
Join me on a journey to The Morgan Library & Museum, where we view Blake's original manuscripts & artworks, to answer these questions.
