So ~ A man of little talent who made what name he had by being perverse, playing pitifully childish pranks and claiming it was eccentricty in that name of "art". The clues are all there in his obit which is, as usual, written in the code of someone who actually thought he was a bit of an arse but doesn't want to break the conventions of never speaking ill of the dead.
I'd never heard of him until you brought him here.
