Interesting. Much of his work seems to draw on his African heritage, with some that seem more Chinese and a few from his studies in Europe.

I agree. A lot of painters at that time drew inspiration from African and eastern sources. Picasso and Matisse certainly did…

Obviously a man of talent as shown by some of his less irrational work. Nonetheless, don’t think I’ll consider myself a fan. Background accompaniment something of a surprise too.
