Book Reviews of The Unknown Night: The Madness and Genius of R. A. Blakelock, an American Painter

Book Review: Fascinating Account of a Brilliant Yet Fragile Artist...
Summary: 5 Stars

Blakelock's life is beautifully portrayed in all its glory, madness, and sadness. There is something so haunting about this biography, it leaves one feeling very sorry for this poor man. I had never heard of Blakelock but now have a deeper respect for his work, and more importantly his shattered life.
