Yes, he's a pervert, not a pedophile! "Hypocrite" started out as a painting directly against censorship, which explains why the nude woman's head is censored in lue of her private areas! But as It progressed it developed into this "Do as I say, Not as I Do" theme. The man is painted in black an white to symbolize his slow loss of life, due to his secrets. The children are to be kept from the secrets at all costs, look away. And of course the hotel room key is an indication of what old grandpa is getting himself into, no pun intended! I love this painting, not necessarily for what it represents, but the coloring, the contrast, and the technique were a success for me, it simply pleases my eye!
