David Hill

m. As an eminent Parisian artist recently said, 'David did the one thing an artist must not do if he wants to be successful - he stepped out of line'
Despite the financial hardships attendant on this situation, he never ceased to work. He sold his paintings from his studio, accepted commissions for portraits and decorations, supported himself as best he could by his art. Nor did he lack admirers, many of whom artists. To the end he commanded the respect of a company of loyal friends and enemies." Virgil Burnett
