Accompanying him were his wife Rosalynn, some White House aides and a bunch of security guards toting briefcases that concealed shotguns and automatic weapons. Aboard the special car, a red curtain separated Carter and his wife from the reporters in the rear. Behind other red curtains, Army communications specialists manned telephones and telex links that kept the President in touch with the White House.

The size of the painting laconically follows the size of its subject. Isolated and closely scrutinized, these motifs give Arikha's canvases a likeness (insofar as painting can ever resemble writing) to the elliptical sentences of his friend Samuel Beckett...
