for [Michael] Heller. He provides a model for visionary art, because he seems to apprehend the essential structures of the world. Vision--the prophetic stance that Heller associates with poets like William Blake and William Butler Yeats--enables the artist to tell us that what generates the news isn't new at all. Visionaries use myth to show us the primal forces that drive us. Beckmann reveals to us that we are determined by our cravings for violence, sovereignty, and submission.from Tablet: Prefigurative Art
