Collaboration, friendship, love, loss and connection – these motifs permeate the final NGV Magazine for 2019. Come with us on a journey into the curious worlds created by photographers Petrina Hicks and Polixeni Papapetrou, get to know the long-misunderstood William Blake through his wood engravings, and relax into our Deep Read, by British novelist Kim Devereux, to consider the enduring, and sometimes complex, relationships between creative people and their muses. We also consider the world of Australian painter Mortimer Menpes (1855–1938), whose affinity for Japan would come to define his life and career.
