Original – Painting depicting fireworks. Middleton Manigault was a visionary artist with an the eclectic, highly personal style. Hope scan will go, no google scans on this guy.

Reason

Edward Middleton Manigault (1887 – 1922) was Canadian and American Modernist painter, a rather excentric and interesting one. Manigault is believed to have destroyed as many as two hundred of his paintings; consequently, few paintings by Manigault survive.
