Not just his art but the fact that here is a guy who can't read or write and was belittled by his teachers. And yet he stood tall against their belittling and made a life for himself. What an inspiration to those around him! Thank you so much for sharing this! |

His "hurt" in saying he could not read or write seemed genuine "emotion" to me. Not only that I have an long long list of the successful people an teacher or figure authority has deemed in so many words as an totally "worthless"person...Albert Einstein being just one of them. |
