THE SONG OF MILOS
Alan Rowlands, of Newport, England, has sent us a copy of his illustrated booklet titled The Song of Milos, consisting of halftone reproductions of twelve drawings and line shots of lithographs with illustrations accompanying poetry. The booklet is available for £1.65 from C. M. Rowlands, Salters Hall Cottage, Salters Lane, Newport, SALOP, England. The reproductions are also available as lithographs in various combinations and in a range of prices. Rowlands states that “the influences which motivated Blake have, in a very much more minor key, influenced my own work. At this point I regret the similarity ends as my admiration for Blake far exeeds my own aspirations and my abilities likewise are of a diminutive quality. However, it may be encouraging to see that tradition in this area still prevails and, although freely adapted in ‘The Song of Milos,’ I firmly believe myth and symbol is still its best vehicle.”
