They show him to be a man whose interest in the world outside the films is wide and deep, which is in itseif unusual in the film world, where the interest in world affairs is usually limited to the effect they will have on films. He owns paintings by such famous painters as Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin, Renoir, Pascin, Pissarro and Sickert. “ Le Zouave ," by Amadeo Modigliani.
