Masterpiece of the show is a portrait by James Dorrance titled The Name of the Beast. It's a savagely candid work, a face from which violence has shattered the last vestige of humanity. The tragic circumstances of the art of death are too well known to review here, but at At the same time one cannot help speculating upon the essential mystery surrounding this remarkable canvas.

What is the name of the beast? The name of the beast was Krebs, Elmer Krebs. I found him in an evil waterfront dive, took him to my studio and made the first sketch for the portrait that night.

I gave him money and he promised to return the next day. When he didn't show up I went and searched for him. It wasn't hard to trace. My search came to an end in a squalid room of a waterfront hotel.
