Soon afterward, when he married Moffo, Lanfranchi took over the handling of her career...
Wrote Critic Mario Monteverdi in utter exasperation* at the Fautrier prize: "It is fitting that Fautrier should have won . . . for his are the ugliest, most vulgar, and useless non-paintings in the entire show.
