Wyland is a double or maybe triple copyist. Remember the painter who started the trend, the one who showed the ocean surface, under the ocean and the land all in one painting? This is what Wyland copied as to style. Then he copied photographs of whales, etc. Promoting the illustrative billboards as in the same category as Picasso and Matisse is a marketing scheme not supported by reality. He's gotten away with it in Hawaii massively.
