I never quite dug this artist or this painting. It worked OK in the movie, but only OK. I would have liked something both more subtle and more disturbing.
But of course that was the 40s. Can you imagine what Francis Bacon might do with this assignment?
LORD GORING. You see, Phipps, Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear. PHIPPS. Yes, my lord. LORD GORING. Just as vulgarity is simply the conduct of other people. PHIPPS. Yes, my lord. LORD GORING. And falsehoods the truths of other people. PHIPPS. Yes, my lord. LORD GORING. Other people are quite dreadful. The only possible society is oneself.
