...have long made liberal use of color engravings-which happen to be expensive but which, we feel, are indispensable to art journalism. As early as 1934 we ran color to support a story about American artists, including Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood. Since May 1951, Art has run color illustrations as a regular feature-1,413 color pages all told.

Nothing so unsubtle could be included in the diplomatic mail...
Despite their startlingly modern appearance and realistic technique, the portraits happen to be among the oldest painted likenesses in the Western world. Earlier Egyptians and Mesopotamian peoples depicted their kings and pharaohs with rigid stylization; Greeks in the age of Pericles idealized the human face and form.
