Los, plate 7, from The Book of Urizen, of which there are eight known (unique) copies.
Los howld in a dismal stupor,
Groaning! gnashing! groaning!
Till the wrenching apart was healed

But the wrenching of Urizen heal'd not
Cold, featureless, flesh or clay,
Rifted with direful changes
He lay in a dreamless night

Till Los rouz'd his fires, affrighted
At the formless unmeasurable death.]]> William Blake Sat, 15 Oct 2011 03:25:00 +0200 http://ianparadine.com/index.php?id=15&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=44&cHash=dcd6f9c896c074f730c2391709a45426 Komische Szene im Atelier, 1829 (Unusual scene in a studio.)A Josef Danhauser exhibition just... Komische Szene im Atelier, 1829 (Unusual scene in a studio.)

A Josef Danhauser exhibition just opened at The Belvedere last Tuesday and runs until September. I’m no fan of Biedermeier but this painting on the exhibition invite is pretty wonderful and new to me. Orangery, Lower Belvedere 
22 June to 25 September 2011
" The focus of this exhibition is on Josef Danhauser (1805-1845), the storyteller. Danhauser was unrivalled when it came to translating the content of literary text, be it of a historical, religious, or purely narrative nature, into pictorial ‘language’. Spectators are thus enabled to extract entire stories from his pictures, provided that they are willing to look closely. Gestures, facial expressions, and movements are the vehicle of these pictorial narratives; there is a lot of humour and daring satire behind them, while they particularly rely on the close observation of people and the capability of visualising minor human flaws in a pointed or maybe even exaggerated manner. William Hogarth’s series The Rake’s Progress and Marriage à la mode, with their narrative wealth, rich allusions, and sharp wit, had a great impact on Josef Danhauser. Danhauser was to refer to them throughout his life, using his models in a subtle and discrete manner for his own compositions. They provided the basis of his most important works, such as The Rich Debaucher, The Soup for the Poor, and The Reading of the Will."
