Gulley Jimson doesn’t care what the Academy of Art might say. He’s not embarrassed to demand money so he can paint, or to wrestle a gift back from his ex-wife, or to steal his paintings from his patron so he can sell them again. It’s of no consequence that he and his friend, Abel, destroy the Beeders’ apartment, or that he pawns their valuables to buy paints. He has used their wall to paint “The Raising of Lazarus.”
