...posters and painted signs refer to him as "Arik Sharon, King of the Jews." An avowed rightist, Sharon stands with Begin on issues of security and has even on occassion referred to himself as "Commander of Israeli Forces in Africa." His case can be likened to the obvious American parallel, that of General MacArthur, who was fired by Truman for insubordination and returned home to a hero's welcome.

...haul the vast 19-ft. canvases in and out of his studio. But Raffael's images are not ruled by their starting point in the photo. They are recreation, not enlargement; between photo and painting fall a multitude of pictorial decisions made with a tender virtuosity without parallel in other American figurative painting today...
