Keyword for the mystery artist is The Eight.
Sunflowers, Rocky Neck
John Sloan
The "Ashcan School" were OK... but I only really liked Bellows (who handled paint in a bravura manner unlike any other American painter of the period) and Robert Henri (not to mention Edward Hopper... who is something else altogether).
OK... our new mystery painting:

No idea - but those red boots look like handmade bespoke boots by Anello and Davide. When I was in my twenties, and despite being broke, I bought several pairs of those - in exactly that colour, with Cuban heels - and they took me through a joyous, ambitious and turbulent decade of my life, which I still think of as the Red Boot Years.

Curmudgeons do not spring fully-formed into being at fifty. They develop gradually from bright, optimistic, carefree Alice Cooper fans crushed by the vagaries of opportunities unfulfilled and made bitter by the removal of their vital organs at the hands of faithless women.
....Er.
I expect.
Our artist was well respected for his work in illustration... especially children's books. He was knighted. One of his children is actually far better known within the art world than he... being a respected Modernist.
Sir William Nicholson - the clue about the son helped quite a bit :p
