| 520 | _aWho was Ashby? A man of incredible adventures—incredible in both the accepted senses. Cynical realist. Romantic idealist. Peerless painter of nudes for profit, but also an artist driven to seek and express his own truth in painting. Womanizer nonpareil, and helpless to overcome one woman's highly original conception of virtue. Dedicated fortune-hunter, distractible by the first good war to come along. Man-of-the-world verging on sage, with an unerring eye for a fix to get himself into. And an epitome of the energy, imagination, and brio of the 1930's, the era of the Great Depression, when things were looking up. | ||
