Terrance Lindall has worked with [[Yuko Nii]] in developing the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2000/10/29/realestate/streetscapes-former-kings-county-savings-bank-broadway-brooklyn-bank-art-center.html?src=pm | title = Streetscapes/Former Kings County Savings Bank on Broadway in Brooklyn; From a Bank to an Art Center, Via an Artist's Vision | first= Christopher | last = Gray | work = The New York Times | date = October 29, 2000 | accessdate = November 10, 2013}}</ref> The Williamsburt Art & Historical Center was the site of a 2008 celebration in honor of Milton's 400th birthday, the Grand Paradise Lost Costume Ball; this event, which featured some of Lindall's illustrations of Milton, gained international attention.<ref name=NYT/><ref name=Indepedent/> |
|||
Lindall's book ''[[Paradise Lost]] Illustrated'' (poetry by [[John Milton]]) has been compared to other Milton illustrators including [[William Blake]]. According to New York University professor Karen Karbiener, many students prefer Lindall's version, which appeared in ''[[Heavy Metal (magazine)|Heavy Metal]]'' magazine and has a popular following among young people. Professor Karbiener, a Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature at [[Columbia University]], gave a lecture at the [[Williamsburg Art & Historical Center]] in 2004 on "...Milton's [[Satan]] and his impact on [[Counterculture|countercultural]] artistic movements from William Blake to the [[Beat generation|Beat poets]] in essence, the artists "between" Milton and Lindall [http://www.wahcenter.net/events/2004/mothersday/index.html], the radical artistic legacy." Lindall owns [[Charles Lamb (writerFITLady Pomfret’s copy of the first illustrated edition (circa 1688). Pomfret was a noble 18th century British woman of great learning, and the Lady of the Bedchamber of [[Caroline of Ansbach|Queen Caroline]].[http://www.wahcenter.net/center/news/2006/mpl/]. |

Apart from being an artist, Terrance Lindall has a background in philosophy and has been very active in the [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn]] art community [http://www.11211magazine.com/details.asp?id=76&issue_id=3][http://www.wahcenter.net/exhibits/LindallRetrospective/index.html]. He writes for ''New York Arts Magazine'', ''Block Magazine'', and ''11211 Magazine'', a [[Breuk Iversen]] production, and other publications. His essay "The Epistemological Movement in Late 20th century Art"[http://www.11211magazine.com/editor/issue14/artart14d.htm] assesses what he sees as the new artistic trends in the contemporary art world and its context in new thinking about fractal geometry, quantum mechanics, historical will, and epistemological and analytic traditions. He curated Charles Gatewood's "The Body and Beyond" [http://www.wahcenter.net/exhibits/gatewood/index.html] (1997) and "Apocalypse 1999" [http://www.wahcenter.net/exhibits/apocalypse/index.html]. "Apocalypse 1999" was the most lavish art production seen in Williamsburg to date, including over 125 artists from around the world and incorporating many provocative musical and theatrical productions. Since then, Lindall has produced the show "Brave Destiny"[https://sites.google.com/site/terrancelindallsparadiselost/the-grand-paradise-lost-costume-ball-september-2008/brave-destiny], including nearly 500 artists. For the show he wrote his ''New International Surrealist Manifesto (NISM)'', [http://www.cinemavii.com/Events/BraveDestiny/NISM.htm]. The opening reception was a one-night "Grand Surrealist Costume Ball" event for which people flew in from countries around the world, including [[Zimbabwe]], [[Australia]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Canada]] and [[Mexico]]. The arriving guests stopped traffic on the [[Williamsburg Bridge]], the second time Lindall's shows have done this. Lindall, wrote an article on "The New Surrealists" which appeared in the March 2006 issue of ''[[Art and Antiques Magazine]]'' (March, 2006), tracing the continually evolving art form from the 1960s through today, citing several of the world's foremost artists. |

Lindall’s art for ''Paradise Lost'' appears on the cover of ''Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton'', released by Random House in 2008. Holt Rinehart & Winston used another Lindall ''Paradise Lost'' image in a 2009 high school textbook. [[Oxford University]]'s major exhibit "Citizen Milton" at the [[Bodleian Library]] (to which Milton himself personally donated copies of many of his works), honoring Milton's 400th birthday, used one of Lindall's artworks for ''Paradise Lost'' from the Nii Foundation collection. Oxford University has also recognized Lindall's contribution to the continuing Miltonian artistic legacy [http://www.cems.ox.ac.uk/citizenmilton/xiv_destinies.shtml]. Available only to scholars, a signed copy of Terrance Lindall's ''Paradise Lost Illustrated'' is in the Robert J. Wickenheiser Collection of the Thomas Cooper rare book library at the [[University of South Carolina]]. The collection's special focus on illustrated editions make it perhaps "the most comprehensive collection ever of Milton illustration." [http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/britlit/milton/intro.html] |
|||
{{Authority control}} |
|||
Lindall enjoys working with composers and musicians on his projects, believing that artists and their work are elevated by interaction of disciplines. His art is in the collections of both [[Stephen Schwartz (composer)|Stephen Schwartz]], the famous lyricist for Broadway and films and winner of three Academy Awards, and Michael Karp [http://michaelkarpmusic.com/], whose music is perhaps the most performed on television. Famed Lutheran hymn writer [[Amanda Husberg]] even composed a requiem mass for Terrance Lindall in recognition of his contributions to the understanding of and earthly resurrection of John Milton's "glorious" ''Paradise Lost''. Noted Lutheran hymn text writer and poet [[Richard Leach]] wrote a new text for the requiem mass. Lindall commented, "It will be the final act of my ''Paradise Lost'' project and acknowledgement of my own resurrection. The 'two handed engine of truth and justice' will prevail in resurrecting the spirit of John Milton!" |

==Critical response== |
|||
===On ''Paradise Lost'' Series=== |
|||
"I plead guilty to being a fan of Terrance Lindall's illustrations – I guess that's pretty obvious to those who've seen his work on the cover of the Modern Library Milton. Plate 3 [http://www.wahcenter.net/gallery/lindall/plates/3.html] in particular rocks my world, as a surfer friend of mine is wont to say." – Professor John Rumrich, Professor of English at the [[University of Texas]] in Austin |
|||
On Lindall's September 2008 Paradise Lost Festival at WAHC: "The exhibit and programs promise to be a diverse collection of multiple perspectives and strategies that should engage the audience you hope to reach." – Wendy Woon, the [[Edward John Noble]] Foundation Deputy Director for Education of the Museum of Modern Art in New York |
|||
"Lindall's image (on the cover of Random House’s 2008 ''Essential Milton'') is, of course, the star. It seems to me at once unmistakably modern and yet just as unmistakably archaic: exactly the doubleness I was hoping for on our cover." – William Kerrigan, former president of the Milton Society of America and recipient of its award for lifetime achievement, 2007 |
|||
"Radical artist and nonconformist Terrance Lindall has channeled Milton’s spirit into a modern context, in a provocative series of illustrations to ''Paradise Lost''. His visual celebration of Milton reveals his remarkable affinity for the radical English poet, and his ability to create a fitting tribute to Milton’s enduring influence in the arts." – Professor Karen Karbiener, New York University, 2007 |
|||
"Terrance Lindall’s fanciful illustrations are bound to arouse response & provoke thought in the may persons interested in ''Paradise Lost'' & its subjects & in surreal illustration generally" – Professor Thomas Clayton, University of Minnesota Department of English |
|||
"Clearly avoiding the view that Pop imagery is inherently a sign of trauma, Terry Lindall employs the cartoon elements of style with a charming and often unnerving directness and simplicity, frequently aimed at causing a trauma all his own. This is particularly the case with his illustrations of Milton’s ''Paradise Lost'', with which he reaches a hyper-intensified and nearly hysterical verve." – Mark Daniel Cohen, critic for ''Review Magazine'' and ''NY Arts Magazine'' |
|||
"Since I was a teenager back in 1982, I’ve considered Terrance Lindall one of the globe’s greatest artists. My particular favorite is his intense adaptation of ''Paradise Lost'', which never fails to instill a pervasive dread in my mind." – Greg Fasolino, 1997 |
|||
===Others=== |
|||
"It is nice to know there is a latter day Bosch around" – Dr. [[Leo Steinberg]], art critic |
|||
"The high water mark in the Golden Age of this uniquely American art form." – [[James Kalm]], ''NY Arts Magazine'' |
|||
"Surreal nightmare...DNA seems to have gone berserk" – ''The New York Art World Magazine'', November 1999 |
|||
"Natural insanity" – ''Art Alternatives Magazine'', 1996 |
|||
"Eerie, magical, dreamlike, devastating, jarring...Lindall's illustrative style is magnificent!" – Julie Simmons, ''Heavy Metal'' Editor in Chief, 1980 |
|||
"Lindall's use of color & detail to achieve effect, his dramatic compositions, but most of all his totally unique vision make him a new wave artist to be reckoned with." – Louise Jones (now [[Louise Simonson]]), Warren Communications Senior Editor, 1980 |
|||
"Lindall's striking and unique visionary fantasy art is breaking new ground in the field" - David Hartwell, Pocket Books Senior Editor, 1980 |
|||
"My reward for the purchase of a Lindall masterwork has been a cover that draws raves. It is a very valuable addition to my collection of fine art." - Stuart David Schiff, winner of the [[Hugo Award]], twice winner of the [[World Fantasy Award]], editor of the acclaimed ''Whispers'' anthologies |
|||
==The World’s First Grand Paradise Lost Costume Ball== |
|||
Lindall created the world’s first "Grand Paradise Lost Costume Ball" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n40CoySmS94&feature=related][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMQZNMTBRjI&feature=user], which opened the largest festival in the world honoring [[John Milton]]’s 400th birthday. The festival took place between September 27 and November 2, 2008 at the [[Williamsburg Art & Historical Center]] (WAH Center), exhibiting over 70 contemporary artists from around the world and includind writers, poets, composers and performers. The exhibit included Terrance Lindall’s original illustrations for ''Paradise Lost''. |
|||
An article by [[Charles McGrath]] in the [[New York Times]][http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/26/books/26milt.html?ref=design] the day before the ball and ensuing festival, along with the opening ceremony with the "firing up" of Milton's head and the reading of the "testament of the poet" by Arthur Kirmss [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYh1bSsslF0&feature=related][http://arthurkirmss.com/default.aspx], temporarily scandalized the exhibit among Milton scholars worldwide who thought Kirmss’ ceramic bust of Milton looked like Milton's nemesis [[Charles I of England|King Charles I]]. The [[Fordham University]] ''Observer'' said in a major article, "It’s a celebration of ''Paradise Lost'' in a most unabashed form.[http://fordhamobserver.com/twisted_paradise_in_williamsburg_celebrates_milton_s_400th]" Award-winning UK paper [[The Independent]] said: "I suspect Milton might have trusted his vision to a heavy-metal illustrator more readily than to any licensed preacher, then or now.[http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/paradise-deferred-john-milton-still-divides-readers-1051773.html]" |
|||
New York Mayor [[Michael Bloomberg]] issued a proclamation recognizing the hard work and labor of love in creating this Milton Festival, which Random House's website confirmed as the "largest birthday tribute to Milton in the world." WAH Center founder and Artistic Director [[Yuko Nii]] personally received a letter from the Equerry of The [[Prince of Wales]] and The [[Duchess of Cornwall]], Major Will Mackinlay, who stated that that their Royal Highnesses were “grateful” for Yuko’s “thinking of them” in inviting them to the ball, and passed on their well wishes for the success of the event. [[Image:PL Ceremony.jpg|thumb|right|Terrance Lindall, Rich Buckler & Yuko Nii opening the Grand Paradise Lost Costume Ball]] |
|||
The show had many letters of appreciation, including one from Wendy Woon, the [[Edward John Noble]] Foundation Deputy Director for Education of the [[Museum of Modern Art]] in New York, who said: “The exhibit and programs promise to be a diverse collection of multiple perspectives and strategies that should engage the audience you hope to reach." However, [[The New Statesman]] [http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/arts-blog/2008/10/american-cobain-obama] called it "The Devils Party," and the controversy over the show prompted discussion blogs such as Professor Horace Jeffery Hodges' “The Milton Bash(ing) Continues.” [http://gypsyscholarship.blogspot.com/2008/09/milton-bashing-continues.html] |

==The Paradise Lost Gold Illuminated Scroll== |
|||
Terrance Lindall During his year-long celebration of John Milton's 400th birthday (which began December 8, 2008), Terrance Lindall created "The Paradise Lost Gold Illuminated Scroll," a scroll that reads from right to left like a Torah [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCLUAAfPzUw&feature=channel]. Completed December 8, 2009, the scroll is now in the Milton collection at the Yuko Nii Foundation. It is 14 inches high and over four feet long, with 24 karat gold illuminated miniature paintings. It has been well received by Milton scholars and collectors worldwide. Copies are now in some of the world's foremost collections including: |
|||
1) [[Huntington Library]] in California, gift purchased by Professor Joseph Wittreich, noted Milton scholar and collector. The Huntington’s highlights include one of the world’s most extensive collections of William Blake material, most notably Blake's original illustrations for ''Paradise Lost''. |
|||
2) The [[University of Pennsylvania]] rare book collection, gift purchased by Professor Joseph Wittreich, noted Milton scholar and collector. The university holds over 560 exemplars of books printed in Europe from movable type before 1501. Sixty-six of these titles are the only recorded copies in North America. |
|||
3) The [[University of Kentucky]], gift purchased by Professor Joseph Wittreich, noted Milton scholar and collector. Their collections include many famous artists. |
|||
4) The [[Alexander Turnbull Library]] in the [[National Library of New Zealand]]. |
|||
5) The collection of Robert J. Wickenheiser, one of the world's foremost collectors([http://www.sc.edu/library/spcoll/britlit/milton/06497_Milton%20booklet.pdf] of Milton books and original illustrations for Milton's works. |
|||
6) Professor John Geraghty |
|||
7) The Thomas Cooper rare book library at the University of South Carolina |
|||
Scholarly reaction included: |
|||
"I think you are rather overemphasizing the 24k gold leaf, because the real 'gold' lies in the perceptions incorporated in the artist's concepts. This is the best since Blake and Doré." - Nancy Charlton, Milton Lists{[http://lists.richmond.edu/pipermail/milton-l/2009-December/010417.html] |
|||
"Terrance: Would that Milton had been as rich in writing about his great epic as you have been about everything you have written about your scroll and the inspiration for it. I don't mean to sell Milton short by any means because, like all great artists, somewhere in his writing can be found his own profound reasons for what he has done and why he did it. In this you stand side by side with the great bard in wanting your paintings to be appreciated and understood." - Dr. Robert J. Wickenheiser, 19th President of St. Bonaventure University |
|||
[[Image:Scroll smalll pre-final2.jpg|thumb|right|Detail of the Paradise Lost gold illuminated scroll]] |
|||
“Thank you Terrance. I am grateful for all you are doing. It is an amazing project. You are creating a great legacy.” - Professor John Geraghty [http://www.johngeraghty.com] |
|||
“This is stunningly beautiful! There is so much to look at, both traditional and intriguingly mysterious. It really makes me think of Blake's 'Marriage of Heaven and Hell,' as well as some of the Serbian iconography I've been looking at recently in the monasteries of [[Fruska Gora]]. I visited the ancient monastery and chapel of Hopovo, and the brilliant colors of the figures crowding into the inner sanctum recall your powerful sunsets and energetic (yet static) figures.” - Professor Karen Karbiener, Department of English, [[New York University]] |
|||
==The Paradise Lost Elephant Folio== |
|||
In 2011 and 2012 Lindall will be working on production of "The Paradise Lost Elephant Folio," a hand-embellished and gold illuminated 13 x 19 inch book containing 14 full-page printed illustrations with hand-painted illustrated borders. |
|||
{[https://sites.google.com/site/terrancelindallsparadiselost/home/elephant-folio-paradise-lost] |
|||
The borders of the elephant folio are complete paintings in themselves. Although the border art focuses principally on elements of design, they also tell stories or make commentary about what is illustrated in the featured central paintings. The borders also are tributes to both humanity’s great achievements, such as music, dance and architecture, as well as tribute to those individuals and institutions and friends who have had important influences on his ideas, or who have shown substantial support or affinity. For example, the Filipino surrealist artist [[Bienvenido “Bones” Banez, Jr.]] {[http://www.welcomebones666artworld.trilogistick.com/] discovered Lindall’s repertoire during the Brave Destiny Show and communicated to Lindall the idea of how “Satan brings color to the world.” Lindall thought the idea to be an insightful and original "affinity" and so he honors Banez in the page of the elephant folio that is a tribute to art by placing Banez’s name under an artist's palette of colors in the border. |

Terrance Lindall (born 1944) is an American artist and the co-director and chief administrator of the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center in Brooklyn, New York.[1][2] Lindall's illustrations have been published in Heavy Metal, Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella, among others.[1]
Education
[edit]Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lindall attended the University of Minnesota and Hunter College in New York City, graduating from the latter in 1970 with degrees in Philosophy and English.[1][3][4]
Career
[edit]
Lindall has worked in comic books, including Warren Publishing's Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella.[1] According to The Independent, he has also done illustrations for Marvel Comics.[5] His illustrations of John Milton, some of which were originally published in Heavy Metal, have been featured in textbooks and modern printings of Milton's work as well as Lindall's rendition of Paradise Lost in prose.[1] One of his illustrations is featured on the Oxford University website created to support its 400th anniversary celebration of Milton.[6]
Terrance Lindall has worked with Yuko Nii in developing the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center.[7] The Williamsburt Art & Historical Center was the site of a 2008 celebration in honor of Milton's 400th birthday, the Grand Paradise Lost Costume Ball; this event, which featured some of Lindall's illustrations of Milton, gained international attention.[1][5]
Lindall is also an author and editor. In addition to his prose synopsis of Milton's Paradise Lost, his publication include a collection of short stories, Blue-eyed Satori: And Other Stories, and an article in Time Out New York.[8]
