John Everett Millais’ Isabella

John Everett Millais, Self-Portrait

If you think of the Pre-Raphaelites you will probably be put in mind of flame-haired women in medieval dress or perhaps the depiction of a scene from a biblical or mythological story. The aesthetic appeal of such paintings seems to derive from a pre-modernist craving for something formally beautiful in its own right, without any sense of remove or cynicism.

Harold Arthur McNeill and his familiar Tharsis

Harold Arthur McNeill, born February 15th 1960, is an artist, poet, designer, and bookbinder living in Washington state.
