• Notes

  Milton was an artist. He was a friend of Elsheimius - Robert Henri and a few others from this group of American artists in the early '20's. Committed suicide “Lenna had a succession of boyfriends. Finally settled on a guy called Milton. Who was a little crazy. Out in NJ once, one evening, there was the sound a revolver and they rushed in to find poor Milton lying on the floor with a hole in his head... What Dave complained to me at the luncheon was the nerve of this guy, Milton who killed himself. He said, “Will give you me $100 a week? Leave me alone and I’ll do art.,” Dave looked at me incredulously, asking “Can you imagine that? He wanted me to pay him money just to live?” - Lincoln Diamant [1, 2]
