There is something really admirable about somebody who creates something wonderful and then doesn't seek attention for the rest of his life or try to milk his creation for every last dime.

He did the right thing. He's now financially secure, so he and his wife are now going to enjoy life for a while

He made a choice,but I fail to see any right or wrong in it. You could just as well argue that he is depriving the public of enjoyment in seeing,and collecting C & H toys,etc. Plus he is denying himself a lot of money which he could use to promote causes he believes in.

Artistic merit is a bunch of crap ,by itself. Do people seriously believe the great artists need no food , clothing, shelter, or companionship ? The great artists of the old days were often "kept" by wealthy princes, etc, so the idea of prostituting art is laughable. Artists , like everyone, need money. They sell their art to those who want it for whatever reason. An artist with no sales starves.
