This book, featuring the life and works of Ralph Blakelock, situates him in the context of American art. Representing over twenty years of study and the examination of several thousand works attributed to him, Beyond Madness reveals the unusual nature of Blakelock's life story as it offers clear parallels to his painting. Largely self-taught and supported by few patrons, Blakelock regularly struggled with the financial pressures of supporting his nine children and pursuing his art. Called both brilliant and doomed, and institutionalized on and off for the last decade of his life, he nonetheless created some of the most beloved--and some of the most frequently forged--paintings in the American canon. As in the author's own time, modern assessments of his work are often colored by notions of Blakelock the man, leading to a paradoxical legacy of suffering and hope, obscurity and prominence. Taking Blakelock's art on its merits, Beyond Madness stands as a testament to the indefatigable spirit of art scholarship as well as a tribute to the artist and his enduring passion for the creative process. It finally casts new light on the life and character of Blakelock and on the nature of the incomparable art he contributed to the American tradition.

Budget-Friendly Mouse
Color: Graphite
The Logitech M196 Bluetooth Wireless Mouse is a solid budget-friendly option that gets the job done. Setup was quick and easy, and the Bluetooth connection has been reliable. It's comfortable enough for everyday use, and the battery life is good. While it doesn't have premium features or an advanced design, it's a dependable mouse at an affordable price. If you're looking for a basic wireless mouse without spending a lot, this is a good choice.

⚠️PLEASE READ⚠️
Color: White
This mouse is great but, if you were planning on hooking it up to an iPad or tablet or some kind it will work but, if you’re trying to play a game or something it’s not the best like if you’re trying to play Roblox I doesn’t work because Roblox doesn’t support keyboard and mouse on iOS. BENEFITS this mouse is lightweight, it’s very easy to hook up to devices, it’s very comfortable and smooth but, it’s a little small for me but besides that it’s GREAT. The mouse also looks clean and professional if you’re ever trying to brag😂. It’s also very compatible with all the devices I’ve tried I hope this review was helpful.

Great bluetooth mouse, easy connectivity and long battery life
Color: Graphite
I really do like this mouse, the price is great, the bluetooth connection is a great newer technology that I love, so nice not to have to worry about a dongle that can get lost, or can occupy a USB port you need for something else! This connects quickly and easily, does NOT take hardly any time to wake up (like some wireless mouse!), and is reliable. It's also fantastic this does not require charging and apparently the battery lasts like a year? So great. Only down side, the reason for 4 stars is the click is pretty loud. My old mouse had a lot of problems that were solved by this one but the click was very quiet so the sound of this one can be annoying.

Stopped Working
Color: White
Awesome little mouse that works great with my MacBook. I will say that the battery only lasted 6 months, not a year, but that's not a deal breaker for me. This is still a 5-star product. Smooth scrolling, comfortable in my hand, no glitchy-ness or functional issues at all. Thanks Logitech.
