...York Times. "There was nobody in the bathrobe," he later remarked, "but when I saw it, it looked like me. I thought I was in it." It became, in effect, a kind of self-portrait without the self, with the slightly eerie aspect of a snake's shucked skin. The bathrobe in Dine's new paintings confronts the eye with a proprietorial air, the folds straight and columnar, the sleeves akimbo. The open V of the lapels gapes like a pair of garden shears.

Alternatively she is depicted as a treacherous snake in woman's dress, a harridan spitting venom and a wily warrior wielding a spiked club. Perhaps most shocking to the puritanical Chinese are caricatures of Chiang Ch'ing as a trollop. In one of many variants on this theme, she is shown reclining on a divan decorated...
