520 $aIn 1931, at age twenty-four, Norton Simon invested $7,000 in a bankrupt juice bottling plant. His investment grew into Hunt Foods, which soon ruled California's canned tomatoes empire. With a rare ability to transform laggard companies into highly profitable enterprises, Simon went on to amass a huge fortune. Then, in his late forties, he turned to art collecting and built one of the greatest private collections since World War II.
520 8 $aSuzanne Muchnic has written an intimate and absorbing biography of this powerful and complex man and at the same time provided a thoughtful overview of Los Angeles culture in the postwar years.
