  Abraham Davidson: Ralph Albert Blakelock
His purpose is to bring to light a significant but relatively neglected artist through meticulous analysis of his life and paintings, as well as the literary, sociological, psychological, and even religious phenomena which might have served as an inspiration.
In this comprehensive study, Abraham Davidson argues convincingly that Blakelock is one of the greatest American painters of the nineteenth century, whose art ranges from the "romantic visionary" school reminiscent of Albert Pinkham Ryder to, later in his tragic life, a more realistic, physically experimental style often touching on abstraction.
Abraham A. Davidson is Professor of Art History at the Tyler School of Art, Temple University.

 Ralph Abraham Interview
RALPH: What I had done that was respected by mathematicians in the way of frontier research work was ancient history by the time I went to India and lived in a cave.
RALPH: No. I think that the understanding of dynamical systems theory presented in popular books is extremely limited and a lot of physicists for example have studied attractors exclusively while as I said the mathematicians have been studying the separatrices.
RALPH: This fantasy of the importance of mathematics has to do with the idea that we might have a future, that we might have something to do with it, and that conscious interaction with our evolutionary process is possible and desirable.
