Actual this artists story is very sad, according to Wikipedia. Ridiculed for his short stature he was driven to drink, and died at just 36 years old. Was it the abuse that drove him to drink, or was he that way wired I guess we will never know. I admire his art, and am sad that this was the way he died. I might make fun of his stature here, but the truth is he made a significant contribution to art. But there is a deeper thought- please think carefully before laughing at anyone who is different from yourself. Much harm has been done from thoughtless mickey taking.
