My in-laws collect Gorman. Guess what's getting torched when we inherit that shit?

think- ago

It's mostly kitsch art, and allegedly, some of his victims did the paintings when he was older and became lazy.

It woldn't surprise me. Picasso, Erte, Dali, other artists, had their "students"/"victims" mimic their style in their later years when they became most popular and could command the highest dollar.

I don't think I would call Gorman's art "kitsch". Gorman incorporated traditional elements of Navaho, Arapaho, and a little Zuni to more of a "pure" form of Native American art.
