That figure is certainly less today, given the state of the market. And he is not making what he was a year ago. Where he had drawn $150,000 in salary and severance pay from his bank and picked up another $20,000 in consulting fees, he now earns $57,500 as OMB director.

Computer analysis of photographs might press the inquiry further, but Close is restrained by his desire to make drawings rather than diagrams. The ink-drawn squares, each with its precise ration of diagonal shading, give one a visual effect that belongs to the same family - though not the same order of majestic intensity - as Seurat's chalk drawings; the spots of pastel in the stud ies for Linda are distributed with a dogged aesthetic zeal that recalls Signac...
