Join Art Muse LA directors Clare Kunny and Robin Trento for an exploration of writings that inspired William Blake. Poetry and prose serve as companions to the artist’s evocative images found in the exhibition William Blake: Visionary. A selection of writing will be sent to participants. We begin in the museum courtyard for a reading and discussion of writings that inspired Blake then we proceed to the galleries for guided viewing the artist’s imaginary world of image and verse.
