ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING BY CONTROVERSIAL NEW YORK
ARTIST FRANCISZEK C. KULON.
This painting is one of several painted by Kulon in response to his beliefs about cronyism and mistreatment
of immigrants in Sullivan County, New York, near New York City.
A photo of this painting was published on the front page of the Times Herald-Record,
to accompany an article about a $1,500,000.00 lawsuit, filed against Kulon by a Sullivan County official,
over what he thought was his derogatory image in a Kulon painting.

from "New York Law Journal"

An appellate panel in Albany last week partially reversed one of its own
judges in a peculiar case involving a mid-Hudson artist who satirized a
local town justice as a horned devil.
The Appellate Division, Third Department, said the newest member of the
court, Justice Anthony T. Kane, erred by preserving the town judge's privacy
claim against the artist. However, the Third Department said Justice Kane
properly cited the artist for criminal contempt for violating an injunction
that should not have even been in effect......(The judge was publicly removed
from the Supreme Court because of judicial corruption.)
