Last edited Mon Apr 9, 2012, 01:06 PM USA/ET - Edit history (3) "Painter of light" my ass.
I mean, you don't have to be an art nerd to think of many more "real" artists who are more "painter of light" material. Off the top of my pointed head, I bet can come up with 5 in 30 seconds... Vermeer Monet Hopper (not Harper) de la Tour Turner Let's see if I can find examples... Vermeer 
Monet 
Hopper (not Harper) 
de la Tour 
Turner 
Anyway.... self promotion and consumerism do not make one a "real" artist. Well, I hope he didn't suffer.... BTW.... it's "Hopper" as in Edward Hopper.... not Harper.... as was pointed out to me. Thank you... I have no idea where "Harper" came from since I had to do a search to find a good painting! But all my art education comes from doing research for set and costume design, so y'see, I'm no expert. Still, I do know who Edward Hopper was. No really! And STILL could come up with 5 painters of light in 30 seconds (if not exact) |

He wasn't my cup of tea, but I don't understand why people are being nasty about his death. His stuff was quite popular and made him rich, so someone must have been buying his work.
