Lovecraft story, "Pickman's Model," there is something of the writer himself to be found. In narrator Thurber's relation of the tale of his acquaintance, friendship, and subsequent breaking of ties with the artist Richard Upton Pickman, one can imagine Lovecraft working out some of the criticism he might have had directed at the "fussy old women" who didn't understand what true artists could do. - If ever there were a more self-relexive line in all of Lovecraft's work than "only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear," it's difficult to imagine, but that's what makes "Pickman's Model" such a delight to experience. In this short story, the reader - or in this case, the listener - gets to come along with their surrogate, Thurber, as he gets a behind-the-scenes look at what the Lovecraft surrogate, Pickman, does in the darkness."....
