| There is no question that Hodgkin is a vitalist and that aesthetic painting is alive and well in his work, but one has to consider the possibility that his work decadently recapitulates its own history (of which Hodgkin is quite conscious). Hodgkin's disease is named after Thomas Hodgkin, a 19th-century English physician.
