Synopsis
Visionary drawings and symbolic themes await in a rare art book .
This edition presents twenty-four works by W. T. Horton, with an introduction by W. B. Yeats, and invites readers into a world where color, symbol, and waking dreams shape the image.
In these pages, Horton’s images move between the familiar and the mythic. Yeats frames the artist as a modern symbolist, balancing technical growth with a reverent imagination. The book traces Horton’s shift from color experiments to refined, symbol-driven compositions that echo medieval talismans and literary visions alike.- Discover a variety of mystical pieces, including Imaginary Landscapes and pieces like Rosa Mystica and Ascending into Heaven.
- See how the artist blends traditional symbols with personal vision, creating images that feel both domestic and transcendent.
- Read an introduction that situates Horton among visionary Symbolists and explains how waking dreams inform the drawings.
- Explore recurring themes such as The Wave and The Path to the Moon, and the way light, form, and color work together without relying on literal representation.
