PAINTER DIES
IN ADIRONDACKS
Ralph A. Blakclock Secured
Reputation in Insane
Asylum
By associated Press.

New York, Aug. Il. - Ralph a.
Blakelock, whose power as a painter
was recognized only after he had
been committed to the Middletown
Asylum for the Insane, died yester-
day at camp in the AdirondaCks.
His friends recently had obtained
his release from the asylum and
had sent him to the camp in the
hope that the quiet of the woods
and mountains would restore his
health.
Born in New York in 1S47 and
almost wholly self-educated in his
art, Mr.. BlakeloCk never realized to
the full the fame his work had
brought him. and received only a
pittance of the fortune his talent
earned.
For many years he hawked his
paintings about New York, obtain
ing for them never more than a few
dollars and undergoing the sever
est hardships.
In 1899 his mind gave way and he
was taken to Middletown. suffering
principally from a delusion that he
was the possessor of great wealth.
He remained in the Middletown
asylum continuously for seventeen
years, during which his paintings
, had been recognized at their true
value and he had been made a
member of the National Academy
and received honorable mention at
Paris exposition.
