...support even more by asking General Ariel ("Arik") Sharon, Israel's hero of the October war, to be his personal adviser. The move guaranteed increased support for Rabin from right-wing Israelis who adore the superhawk Sharon and who have long worried that the Premier is a waffling dove.

It owes something to Picabia (who, some years before, had done a number of "object-portraits"-Stieglitz as a camera and so forth), but the fascinating aspect today is how prophetic this small image is. No doubt Dove meant the folding inch-rule that runs round the portrait like a frame to be a gruff joke-how do you measure the fictional space of a painting? But that joke, 35 years...
