Eduardo Paolozzi's "After Newton", Rosenthal Porcelain Dish
About the Item
Eduardo Paolozzi's dish made by Rosenthal depicts "After Newton" is an image of the large sculpture by Paolozzi. Paolozzi follows William Blake's 1795 print, Newton, in illustrating how Isaac Newton's equations changed our view of the world to being one determined by mathematical laws.
The Tate writes-
The eighteenth-century poet, Alexander Pope, wrote a satirical epitaph for Newton: 'Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night/God said Let Newton be! And all was light'. This shows just how much the eighteenth century revered the great philosopher. Newton had successfully explained the workings of the physical universe.
To Blake, however, this was not enough: Newton had omitted God, as well as all those significant emotional and spiritual elements which cannot be quantified, from his theories. Blake boasted that he had 'fourfold vision' while Newton with his 'single vision' was as good as asleep. To Blake, Newton, Bacon and Locke with their emphasis on reason were nothing more than 'the three great teachers of atheism, or Satan's Doctrine'.
