He was a Christian Scientist I think... due to stomach problems in his youth.
- Most sources I find agree that he was a Christian Scientist. A few say lifelong, but most say he converted in the 1920s.--T. Anthony 09:23, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] moved from article
yes iiii
Some one copied this page onto another website. Curse them!
What does the attribution "By Dhairya Virani and Joshua Burns" mean?
[edit] Uhm.
Is someone interested in mentioning his child fetish/pedophila/ephebophila?
=/
I will, http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/51804#1318166 it's apparently very well known and I think it is wrong to present his shyness and fondness of children in a romantic, innocent light.
How about a little bit more support for that theory other than a testimonial on Metafilter? As near as I can tell it's all speculation. My understanding is that he liked children and young women, but he wasn't sexually interested in them and never approached anyone underage. Certainly, he was socially backwards, but he focussed on adult women his whole life. I believe he had a relationship with a female artist late in life too. I find it highly unlikely that Solomon wouldn't have published her findings due to an "uproar by the art critics and her editors." If she's said this in print, I'd like to see it verified. As it stands, this is hearsay.
http://www.newyorker.com/critics/atlarge/?030217crat_atlarge What about the New Yorker article? "There is something rapt and winsome in his appreciation of his fées; and something just a little creepy about his following them into Woolworth's." and "His friends recall that he would, with any encouragement, send lurid erotic fantasies to his fées; according to Caws, he even sent one a tracing of a string he had put around his penis to show its size.)" so even if he never bonked a kid doesn't this at least deserve mention? At least the New Yorker article (which was linked to in the now removed section) invalidates your assertation he never had sexual interest or never approached them.
[edit] Thirty miles from New York City in Queens?
That's quite a feat, given that A) Queens is part of New York City and B) Even to New Yorkers, for some of whom "The City" Means Manhattan below Central Park or Harlem or just Manhattan, there isn't anywhere in Queens that's more than about 12 miles away. Derp...
My
[edit] Painted gays?
"He also painted gays?" As in homosexual people, or as in something else? This article needs some work. GAYS RULE! so does bussy (BUTTSEX!!!!)
[edit] Biography sources
I don't see why the Deborah Solomon book, which is biographical, was removed from the "Biography" section and replaced with works like the Shadowplay Eterniday book, which seems to be predominantly critical rather than biographical in focus, and the Sommers/Drake book, which doesn't appear to be a scholarly source at all. Is there some reason for this? Deor 01:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it's been more than ten days, and no one has responded, so I'm going to go ahead and restore the Solomon book and delete the inappropriate ones. Deor 01:51, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
