THE SOCIETY DIARIES Fortuny is one of the most expansive, well-researched, lovingly written stories of a man and his legacy, both of which could easily be deemed genius. . .
To say the book is illuminating and engrossing is gross understatement as few books of this genre have a subject who is this much of an artist, inventor, and createur. . .
Fortuny is a book that truly stands alone due to its both visual and written contents; it is a book that must be read and not just browsed."
