You make it sound like his work would have been better if he couldn't paint, as if his virtuosity was a hindrance to you. Did you forget to notice how startling these paintings are?

I hesitate, as well, to attribute this to his mental illness, I'd rather attribute that to his thoughtfulness as an artist. “The man could paint…” -what a cynical opening line.
