They helped to combine facts from the biographies of the impresario and the artist, creating an intermediate imaginary world of their possible meeting. Among the traits that can attract the attention of men to each other, loneliness, sexual orientation, the position of an outcast in society, attachment to the mother, passion for PR campaigns and practices of insignificance are noted.
