The promotional image of a 2017 exhibit on this artist "and the poets" in the Gallerie dell'Accademia was his painting of a veiny hand reaching out of a cloud to draw the title Line. Hilton Kramer called this artist a "Mandarin Pretending to be a Stumblebum" in one of the many savage reviews of his Marlborough show. This artist's late period paintings often featured masses of disembodied legs and shoes, as in Painterly Forms II, and a "lima bean"-shaped, hairless, one-eyed head he used to represent himself. Another motif in this artist's work is an oversized glove holding a cigarette, which appears in paintings such as Riding Around, Courtroom, and The Studio. This artist pissed off the art establishment by leaving abstract expressionism for a representational style that he used for paintings of figures with (*) black lines for eyes and patched white hoods. For 10 points, name this American painter best known for cartoonish images of the KKK.
