Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: He was, indeed, associated with Burne-Jones— somewhat of a 2nd wave of the Pre-Raphaelites. I have recently become very interested in that movement, their origins and evolutionary influence on the golden age of illustration, ala Walter Crane and others.; March 31, 2013 at 2:13 PM

Thomas Haller Buchanan said...: Yes, yes, it's true. So many of the Pre-Raphaelites found an ideal face for their sensibilities and proceeded to use that same face over and over, painting after painting. Actually, many artists and cartoonists do that, but are a little more subtle in how they pull it off.; April 1, 2013 at 1:54 PM
