Hard, mean, digging, they hinted constantly at the pain that plagued him. His death meant the disappearance, wrote Paris Critic Waldemar George, of "the only painter who was capable of giving to French art a sense of ... the human values. Our only consolation is to know that his teaching will not be lost. In the end, the young will owe him much...
