The Argument: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1960)

Title:

The Argument: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1960)

Description:

In this image from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1960 facsimile), the text says "Rintrah roars," but the imagery is mysterious. A woman in a yellow gown stands at the base of a tree with one arm around the trunk. The other arm is extended to a woman robed in green who is in the tree among the branches. Behind them, the sky shifts in color from red to blue. A curling vine descends from the top of the tree and surrounds the words of the poetry. Towards the bottom of the plate, upon bright green grass, lay two nude human figures whose features are essentially indiscernible.
