Diary of an Aesthete, article about Count Harry Kessler, a sophisticated German diplomat, writer, connoisseur and patron of modern art, who lived from 1868 to 1937 and hardly passed an inelegant day in between. W.H. Auden, in a review of the English-language edition of his diaries, dubbed Kessler "one of the most cosmopolitan men who ever lived." 14 1/2 x 10, collage.
