Imagination is a root for creation for artists. It becomes an ability for ingenuity and is the most important inner ability. When we create a work, we use the imagination. Immanuel Kant said that originality is the first characteristic. Goethe thinks the natural instinct as a supernatural power, and considers the genius talent, which leads to positive life energy through inspiration and unconsciousness, creative power. William Blake is genius in his imagination. He expressed his inner feelings with superman power and got his thinking as the true source of art. And Blake seeking for nature is consistent with the opinion of Kant who insists that genius is the child of nature. This study looks into Blake's illustration through contents and forms. Blake criticizes the material experience which is deficient of the vision of the spirit and shows the image of surmount in the experienced world. The point of this study is the analysis of work which is in the imagination through innocence and experience dealt by Blake. Though The theme of the world of innocence and the world of experience are separated substantially, they are formally combined in the imagination of Blake. This fact is the image of analyzed substance through iconology and form and also the synthetic world reminding dream and reality. I wish the world of Blake's imagination dealt in this study could surmount the difference between concept and formative and reconsider the problem of these two matters in creating.
