His life as a newspaper tycoon and politican was satirized in Orson Wells' film Citizen Kane, and his home in San Simeon, California is one of the most visited museums in the country. During the 1920s and '30s, Hearst amassed hundreds of paintings and sculptures and the largest private collection of tapestries, antiquities, silver and army armor of his time. They furnished no fewer than six palatial residencies. Heart the Collector takes the reader inside each one with rarely seen historical photographs of the interiors that illustrate the many works of art now dispersed among great museums throughout the world." - Publisher.
