I look at his work and feel love. What a great guy. Such depth, breadth and sensitivity.

Forget collecting art. I think I'd rather collect artists.

And he was a theosophist!

I believe he was also the person who first got P.D. Ouspensky published in English.

Edit: yes - he produced the first English translation of Ouspensky as early as 1919. Ouspensky was a refugee in Constantinople, had no idea the translation had come out, and Bradgon had no idea where he was. Eventually he found him and sent him a royalty check and this led to Ouspensky's emigrating to England.
