Every Image Ever Created is a new series of occasional lectures where we look in detail at one particular image in Blake’s body of work.

To launch the series, Luis and Carol Garrido will be talking about The Last Judgement – a facsimile of this painting was sent to all our members earlier in the year as a special 250th anniversary gift.

The Talk will be held in The Drawing Room where an exhibition has just opened of works by 5 contemporary visionary artists who claim influence from Blake. The show is entitled: Every Eye Sees Differently As The Eye.

The evening will consist of a Talk on The Last Judgement followed by an introduction to the work of the international artists in this new exhibition given by the curator Irene Bradbury. There will then be the opportunity for questions and a discussion of the relationship between Blake and contemporary visionary art.

Slides of enlarged details from the Last Judgement will be projected, and the whole lecture will take place in the gallery alongside – and in counterpoint to – the current exhibition of visionary art.

Luis and Carol Garrido are the Membership Secretary of the Blake Society and the discoverers of the lost grave of William Blake.
