Label TextBaskin admired French realist painter Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) for his political and artistic commitments. Baskin stated: "He is included here in homage to his being steadfastly great in an unpopular style and for his fervor to win the people's freedom from French petit bourgeois tyranny."
