00:06It has overshadowed Stuart, to some extent, being a Beatle.
00:12But there is another argument.
00:18I've met people who've said to me, I wouldn't have mind being a Beatle.
00:23And other people have said, I wouldn't have mind being a painter as good as he was.
00:32I frankly think the Beatles' association is incidental.
00:37He is almost an exemplary, tragic, romantic artist.
00:45I think he would have been major had he survived.
00:48This is the story of a potentially significant artist who left the Beatles to become a painter,
00:53but who never got to fulfill his potential.
