I Googled this because I couldn't view the pic you posted. Some things are blocked here on my office computer. I found Frightened Bridegroom II. Looks like Grover from Sesame Street wearing a mask.

I would love to know his thought process on these paintings. Check out "Death of a Husband" and others on this page:

Gawd only knows what was going thru his head. He's pretty famous here, but somehow I don't see why.

Some of the works remind me of Marc Chagall. There are a few landscape works there that I really like.

This quote from the Wikipedia page may explain some of the odd figures:

His best-known work is perhaps his Half Caste Bride series in the 1950s, based on his contact with Aboriginal culture in Alice Springs in 1951.

More works - note the two very realistic ones on the second page:

I wonder how much it would be worth if someone scraped his signature off ??
Probably pick it up then for $5 at a flea market.

Someone told me once, that you had so much money Helene, that you knew exactly how many $100 notes fitted into a tea chest. And furthermore, those $100 notes were stacked on edge.
So with all of your unspent billions, why wouldn't you buy it ????
