| biography:
| Painter, born in Harvey, Illinois, USA. He turned to painting after World War 1, in which he served as a medical draughtsman in France. The clinical studies he made then of surgical operations laid the foundations of the meticulous technique he perfected later, as well as promoting an obsession with morbid subject matter. His style has been called ‘Magic Realism’, and had links with Surrealism, but he remained one of the most idiosyncratic of 20th-c painters. |
