You do an excellent job of providing context for this artist and describing the criticism of his work. Tides of art ebb and flow from abstraction to realism and other styles but a fine artist will be rediscovered and speak to us again.
I've usually liked his style - somewhere between realism and illustration and am glad to learn, cranky or not, that he was a supporter of liberal social thoughts, tho as a gay man, sorry to hear he has to deny his homophobia,
please never stop making these
Glad you enjoyed it.

I don't think he denied it. He was sacked because of it.
He was not a great Artist as he claimed to be i don't not like his style of painting.
Other people do like him. In 1934 Time magazine featured him on their cover. An honour that had not been granted to any other artist at that time.
It isn't his claim that makes him great.
