He was a prolific painter, and a prolific lover too. Fourteen
children and many wives and mistresses. Some hate him.
They say he was a user and a heartless womanizer.
Me, I just see that his imperfections were incidental to his
being a great artist. And I anticipate many artists will have
many flaws as part of their creative and complex beings.
So despite their shortcomings and the people they may
have hurt, I just focus on their works of art.

Sue me if you disagree, anon reader.
