About MeC.R.W Nevinson, quoted in The Leader (13th November, 1920)

Today New York is, for the artist, the most fascinating city in the world. She is like a young woman, splendid in her unconscious strength and beauty, cold and hard perhaps, but only as youth always is. She doesn't soothe the nerves; she stimulates action.
