Purely for my pleasure: Somerset Maugham and his collection of artworks
The famous writer, the author of "The Moon and Sixpence" novel, was at the same time a passionate art collector. The impressive collection of artworks by Renoir, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Bonnard, Picasso and Léger was collected by Maugham purely for his own pleasure and decorated his luxurious villa on the French Riviera.
