Lot Essay

‘I have always been inspired by William Blake’s idiosyncratic visions of angels but also by those of Giotto and Fra Angelico, which encouraged me to become involved with the visual splendour of these beings. But this has been limited to shy, covert glances at their attire. I do not dare look at them in the face.’
– Arnulf Rainer
