...Secretary and especially for Nancy Maginnes Kissinger, who was traveling on a diplomatic mission with her husband for the first time. "You are among Henry's family here," Sadat told her. As a wedding gift, he presented the couple a portrait of Kissinger done from photographs by Egyptian Artist Etimad el Taraboulsi (who last week was commissioned to do a companion portrait of Nancy Kissinger...
Once he had developed this structure, Pope went on to explain how an artist, by manipulating one of these three elements, could create the illusion of space or light, could create a mode in his work that is linear, sculptural, pictorial or visual. The exhibit uses familiar works from the Fogg's collection-works by Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Copley and Tiepolo-as examples of these modes. The idea is grand, but a grand result never materializes.
