Blakelock began devoting himself to painting full time in 1866 and exhibited a year later. He traveled alone through the United States and was most influenced by his time with the American Indians. In the 1880s, Blakelock focused on moonlight scenes and developed his use of color. His life ended in a mental hospital, gaining more popularity through sales of his works. |
