'Work' in the first sentence stands for the 'book' or 'picture' mentioned in the last sentence. Yet the use of 'but' implies that something else has to be inserted between the two. Sentence A follows the first sentence as it presents a different side of the writer or the artist. Sentence B is a continuation of A, the idea of how an artist or a writer presents himself. The last sentence follows B as it says, though he pretends in the public, his true nature can be seen in his work.
