Museum of Art Seoul National University highlights Blake's artistic side and his influence on British culture for the first time in Korea."Blake's Shadow: William Blake and his Artistic Legacy"

Many remember William Blake (1757-1827) as one of the leading poets of the Romantic period. After the Tate Gallery in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York held Blake's exhibitions in 2000 and 2001, the influence of Blake's artwork began to be more widely recognized, and he began to be seen as one of the forerunners of British art. 62 pieces by Blake, his contemporaries and those he influenced are displayed.

The exhibition runs through Feb.14 at Museum of Art Seoul National University.
Tickets are 3,000 won. Closed on Mondays. For more information, contact (02) 880-9509 or visit http://www.snumoa.org
