The Blakelock Effect— In the Opinion of Great Artists In his book The UnknownNight,the Genius andMadness of R.A.Blakelock,an American Painter , Glyn Vincent relates that leading artists William Merritt Chase, Robert Henri, and Franz Kline were fervent admirers of Blakelock’s work. JamieWyeth and AndyWarhol also collected his paintings. 1 Marsden Hartley believed that Blakelock was worthy of inclusion as a “plausible basis for a genuine American Art.” 2 [Blakelock] made a strong impression not only upon American art, but upon the art of the world. george bellows, artist, 1916 3
