Steve, I love your portrait montages!
Though I disagree with Sanden on some things, I think he is right on the mark in his response to the Wall Street Journal article. I hope he sends it in as a letter to the editor.
If contemporary artists portrayed their portrait subjects with the pose and trappings of the Gilbert Stuart Washington portrait that was used as an example in the article, they'd be laughed out of Dodge and so would their subjects.
