It was Jacoby, who had recently painted her portrait. I never liked the man. He was so obviously conscious of looking more like an athlete than an artist. I sat up the rest of the night writing a column about him. I demolished his affectations, exposed his camouflaged imitations of better painters, ridiculed his theories. I did it for her, knowing Jacoby was unworthy of her. It was a masterpiece because It was a labor of love

It was a masterpiece because it was a Iabor of Iove
00:00:04.838 --> 00:00:08.841
Naturally she could never regard him seriously again
00:00:09.592 --> 00:00:11.076
There were others of course
00:00:12.595 --> 00:00:14.068
but her own discrimination ruled them out
00:00:14.764 --> 00:00:17.766

until one night at a party at Ann Treadwell's
00:00:22.564 --> 00:00:26.483
It was one of her usual roundups of bizarre and nondescript characters
00:00:26.568 --> 00:00:28.902
corralled from every stratum of society
00:00:28.903 --> 00:00:31.822
There's many ways to do it but what they choose to do

where we feel the cold and misery and isolation and rejection
00:00:40.029 --> 00:00:44.918
that he's feeling by making it a scene of miserabIe weather
00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:50.424
in which he has to stand out in agony in his overcoat
00:00:52.302 --> 00:00:54.001
I demoIished his affectations
00:00:54.304 --> 00:00:57.681

00:00:57.807 --> 00:00:59.997
ridicuIed his theories
