without accounting for his American Gothic, he would not be well known. While his style is somewhat recognizable, it is nothing more than well done paintings in modern realism style. Therefore, he is not successful in the broad based terms that he lived a successful career of selling his work not only to survive, but to glean prices for his work that are of the same caliber of American Gothic consistently. if i remember right, he did all sorts of freelance work to supliment his income along his carreer. A true A level painter can get away with selling B or even C level work at A level prices simply because his name is on it.
