I am not ashamed, afraid, or averse to tell you what Ought to be Told: That I am under the direction of Messengers from Heaven, Daily & Nightly. Eighteenth century English poet, artist, mystic and prophetic visionary William Blake was virtually unknown during his own lifetime; a quintessential outsider artist. Today he is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets in the English language, as well as a powerfully original visionary artist. Amber Lotus is proud to offer the William Blake 2010 wall calendar, featuring twelve paintings and a selection of poetry illustrating Blake's passionate lifelong belief that art and the imagination are doorways to the Divine. Prayer is the Study of Art; Praise is the Practice of Art.

Can't Wait to Get This Baby Up On the Wall...,
By NotATameLion (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: William Blake, Art of Imagination (Calendar)
Surpisingly--for a guy who now owns a Blake calendar--I am not that big of a fan of William Blake. I like some of his poetry but often as not I find him strangely both too willfully obtuse in his verse and too much a child of the enlightenment for me not to gag over some of the stuff he says in his poems.
I sure like his pictures though. And it's been a long sad year for me calendar-wise. You see, the two years prior to 2005, I had two brilliant calendars. One was a collention of Pre-Raphaelite paintings. The next year was probably my favorite. We had a Maxfield Parrish calendar. This year though, we have been suffering through a calendar of "Coots"--grotesque charicatures of old men behaving poorly. We bought it because we came to our calendar purchasing late in the game and on a tight budget. NEVER AGAIN!!! This year, I bought our calendar in October. There will be no repeat of the Coots fiasco. I'm actually pretty stoked about getting the visual works of Senor Blake up on the wall (the back of my bedroom door actually). This calendar is beautiful. Perhaps its class will wash away some of the Coots calendar's white trash mojo. Only time will tell. The first thing I'm doing on New Year's Eve--after I kiss the missus and send the kids off to bed--is to throw the Coots in the trash and put this thing in its righful place. Happy New Year!!!
