Peter, this is a rather angry note. Aho did not study under Shils or Kahn, but rather Henry Isaacs, George Nick and Norman Ackroyd. Aho happens to know the other two. Personally, I can’t see what it is you are getting at. If his focus is money and fame, I guess I’ve helped him get there.

Whoa dude, that’s kinda snarky. Show me any painter who is not a “careerist” and I’ll show you a failure with a lot of paintings hanging in the homes of their relatives.

I disagree with Peter Roe, Aho has his own voice.

Thanks Randall,
I’m glad to have gotten the opportunity to put a little more into the world about these two great painters.
