Yale Center for British Art
1080 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06510

One of the most compelling figures in the history of British art and poetry, William Blake (1757–1827) expressed his radical perspectives on religious belief, politics, and society through highly original illuminated books, watercolors, paintings, and poetry. This exhibition showcases the Yale Center for British Art’s impressive collection of works by Blake, with special focus on the inventive hand-printed publications that bring to life his poetry and prophecies.
