Looks like fluffs avatar... but seriously his warts n all approach was some how touching at times no rose coloured spectacles to look at humanity just a real sense that he understood the reality of his subjects...

i really like his work and think you put it very well rowan, totally uncompromising in the way he painted and not fearful of reality.

I think he will be remembered long after the like of Damien Hurst and Tracy Emin are forgotten.

don't know his work that much, but the few things i have seen i quite liked.
and btw i have been pondering on your avatar and then realised it's Samuel Beckett

very fine painter, probably the best in Britain in the last half century - you could put a case for Hockney; but not Bacon, thanks, let alone Hirst and the rest.

I just read about his death today. He has been my favourite modern painter for a number of years.....great detail and a totally uncompromising view of the human form. A true great.
