...flesh is a little slack." She was "a girl of our own day," wrote a lone enthusiastic critic, "neither lascivious nor simpering, who occupies herself usefully by mending her clothes." Three years after painting Study of a Nude, Gauguin came home one day with the news that he had left the stock exchange; henceforth, he told Mette, he intended to be a full-time painter. Moreover, he assured his alarmed and angry wife, he was going to make a heap of money...

Fine when it is funny, the play goes flat when it is all too strenuously trying to be. The flesh is weak in Lunatics and Lovers, and at times the inspiration seems even weaker. And hand in hand with a good pungent coarseness in the characters themselves goes a certain touch of vulgarity in the treatment of them. Nor, for all its lowdownness, is Lunatics and Lovers quite to the gutter born, with a truly deep-seated sense...
