Here is the quotation of Mao that Mr. Clinton likes:
"you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience".

I believe that Sargent made the mouth, and all other things "wrong" because he wanted us to open our eyes to the divine variations of life i general.
And then he had a reputation to live up to.

Alan:
Good point!
Sargent knows four languages, plus another one, musical language.
Stubborn or clever, I spent a lot of care on analyzing English words as a way of studying art. Many thanks to Cynthia, whose deed enables me for having some time to do this, in return, I hope to donate some income from my future book to Forum.

Commemorate Sargent's 150 birthday
...... the most impressive one for me: http://jssgallery.org/Paintings/Youn...ng_a_White.htm
What I noticed, Jim, is that clue--a globe in that portrait of four doctors. More clearly, if you look at a world map, which contain an enigma that is so interesting.

Mike: You are amazing to find those two strikingly similar master pieces.
Steven: Sketch diary is necessary for us.
Why did Sargent paint Madame X's face in profile?

Li Bai, Mao Zedong and Sargent
30 years ago, Sept.9th. on Chinese "the Moon Festival", Mao passed away.
My grandfather was with Mao and about ten other students on a Moon Day party. When asked about future plan, proposals, like to run for a senator, to be a scholar or a teacher, were looked down by Mao, who disclosed his own idea: Rebelling, "cheng wang bai kou", ( if successful, one would be the king, otherwise he would be labeled as a bandit).
Li Bai is the the foremost Chinese poet. Now these two great poets meet Sargent in the moon, talking about what they share a common activity attributed partly for their uprupt rising in fame. What do you think?
