Hurtle Duffield is incapable of loving anything except what he paints. The men and women who court him during his long life are, above all, the victims of his art. He is the vivisector, dissecting their weaknesses with cruel precision: his sisters deformity, a grocers moonlight indiscretion and the passionate illusions of his mistress, Hero Pavloussi.
