well
Sleeping in a garage doesn't make you a car. I'm never moved by the fact that anyone studied with anyone if the student's work doesn't reflect that superior influence.
I thought the color of the work had bad color too(when viewed in person)...same remarks as you. Probably should have made color sketches from life. The compostion is one of , "Oh what can I put there to fill the void?" type composition. The boring block of landscape on the far right is regrettable. Most of the faces are dark smears (see the red-head).
Ole Walt , I'm sure, liked the subject matter.
Not all work by even great artists is great. It's Ok not to love everything these artists made. Here's a work done from life that has an awesome composition (in my humble opinion)
