Readers that venture into the portrait gallery that is this work, will face a series of fascinating, exceptional, and compelling yet real-life characters. Vicent traverses from the glamour of Andy Warhol to the misery of Czanne and Billie Holliday. Self destructive artists such as Modigliani and Montgomery Clift serve as a contrast for Billy Wilder and Frank Sinatra, who controlled their destiny and found happiness. The integrity and commitment of Yves Montand and Zenobia Camprubi clash with the two-faced nature of others such as the forger Van Meegeren and the double-agent Anthony Blunt.
