Hartford, heir to the A&P retail fortune, was something of a Hollywood

display his art collection.
The back cover reads as follows, "Questions of art have an intimate
connection with local government--through publicly supported museums,
the sculpture, murals, and paintings in parks and public buildings,
the work of the Art Commission and otherwise. For that reason this
challenging personal statement by Mr. Hartford is put before the
public as a basis for discussion...".
