John William Godward’s Neoclassicism and his paintings of exotic women in ancient settings fell out of favor during his career. In despair of the changing art world around him, he took his life. It seems that the world would not have been big enough for him with the likes of an emerging Picasso. Here we see delightful Mischief and Repose.
