No. CXVII - Joseph Duveen (1869-1939), philanthropist, patron of the arts, the most influential art dealer of his age (and possibly any age), and, for defacing the priceless Elgin Marbles, one of the 20th century's great vandals and ne'er-do-wells.
There are available many fine photographs of Baron Duveen, but given the thread of art intertwined through every facet of his adult life, I thought it most appropriate to feature instead two of the many portraits capturing and interpreting his likeness.

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "Only the Good Die Young" from Have Another Ball (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: I really hate "Only the Good Die Young," based on the lyrics, but it's just so verdammt catchy, especially as improved by the Gimme Gimmes.
And I'll say it again,
A short skirt,
A Gimmes shirt,
A Jones Soda,
Ain't life grand?
