Reception

In 2006 a New York Times reviewer described It Will All End in Tears as "... a beautiful spectacle that dazzles as it happens and then fades away like a puff of smoke".[2] In 2008 a different New York Times reviewer described him as a "... still young, abundantly talented and wonderfully original artist".[3]
