A stunningly illustrated look at how Blake's radical vision influenced artists of the Beat generation and 1960s counterculture

In his own lifetime, William Blake (1757-1827) was a relatively unknown nonconventional artist with a strong political bent. William Blake and the Age of Aquarius is a beautifully illustrated look at how, some two hundred years after his birth, the antiestablishment values embodied in Blake's art and poetry became a model for artists of the American counterculture.

This book provides new insights into the politics and protests of Blake's own lifetime, and the generation of artists who revived and reimagined his work in the mid-1940s through 1970, or what might be called the "long sixties." Contributors explore Blake's outsider status in Georgian England and how his individualistic vision spoke to members of the Beat Generation, hippies, radical poets and writers, and other voices of the counterculture. Among the artists, musicians, and writers who looked to Blake were such diverse figures as Diane Arbus, Jay DeFeo, the Doors, Sam Francis, Allen Ginsberg, Jess, Agnes Martin, Ad Reinhardt, Charles Seliger, Maurice Sendak, Robert Smithson, Clyfford Still, and many others. This book also explores visual cultures around such galvanizing moments of the 1960s as Woodstock and the Summer of Love.

William Blake and the Age of Aquarius shows how Blake's myths, visions, and radicalism found new life among American artists who valued individualism and creativity, explored expanded consciousness, and celebrated youth, peace, and the power of love in a turbulent age.

Matcha Powder
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
Jade Leaf Matcha has become my go-to matcha powder, and I keep coming back to it time and time again. The quality is consistently great, with a fresh flavor and vibrant green color that mixes well into drinks and recipes. I use it regularly for matcha lattes, smoothies, and even baking, and it always delivers great results. For a culinary-grade matcha, I think the flavor is excellent—not overly bitter and smooth enough to enjoy daily. It blends easily and provides the perfect matcha taste without breaking the budget. I’ve tried other brands over the years, but this is the one I continue to repurchase. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality matcha for everyday use, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Matcha
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I haven’t decided if I really like Matcha, as I got this, just to find that out. I find that the packaging is interesting, and it is best, probably, to store it in the package it comes in. It has a mild flavor, and I am just making tea with it, as I don’t bake any more. It is a bright green powder with a smooth, mild taste, and in a clever package.

A Premium Matcha Experience for the True Connoisseur
Flavor Name: Culinary, Size: 1.06 oz (Pack of 1)
I recently had the pleasure of trying the Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a high-quality product. As someone who enjoys matcha regularly, I was eager to compare this offering to others on the market, and I have to say I was very impressed. The first thing I noticed was the vibrant green color of the powder. It’s a rich, deep green that is indicative of the quality and freshness of the leaves. When prepared, the tea has a smooth, silky texture and a natural sweetness that makes it enjoyable both on its own and as an addition to smoothies or lattes. I appreciate that this matcha doesn’t have the bitterness that can sometimes accompany lesser-quality varieties, making it a perfect choice for ceremonial use or a relaxing daily treat. As a ceremonial grade matcha, it’s clear that Jade Leaf has carefully sourced and processed the tea leaves. The flavor is balanced and complex, with grassy, vegetal notes followed by a subtle sweetness. It has the perfect level of umami, which is an essential characteristic of a high-quality matcha. I’ve tried a variety of brands, but this one stands out for its consistency and superior taste. The packaging is also noteworthy. The resealable bag ensures the matcha stays fresh, which is crucial for preserving its delicate flavor and antioxidants. It’s easy to scoop out the right amount without making a mess, and the instructions on the back are clear and helpful for those new to preparing matcha. Whether you’re a seasoned matcha drinker or new to the world of green tea, this Jade Leaf matcha provides a top-notch experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an authentic, high-quality matcha that delivers excellent taste and a sense of calm and clarity with every sip.
