Robin Hamlyn (1947 - 2016)

We were sad to learn that Robin Hamlyn, curator at Tate Britain for over 30 years and an expert on the work of William Blake, died in London on August 14, at the age 69. 

Robin and Melinda were great friends. In 2004, he gave a lecture at Oxford University on the occasion of Melinda's exhibition of her Luminous Bodies watercolors.

The lecture is included as the forward to Luminous Bodies: Circles of Mourning, one of two volumes of the 90 watercolors recently published by Blake Press.

"Her works are Blakean not only in form but also in their philosophic relationship between the spiritual and the material worlds." - Robin Hamlyn, from the forward.

Don't miss Luminous Bodies at the Melinda Camber Porter Exhibition of Art, Books and Film at the University of South Dakota September 19 - October 16.

All of Melinda Camber Porter's books are available at amazon.com
