When I walked through the Polymer Mausoleum this morning, was a might surprised to find a bigger than life painting of the Gnome mounted in the foyer. Obviously one of the most obnoxious and egotisical placements one could imagine. I feel sorry for the students/faculty/staff who will have to toil under his gaze for years to come.

Bigger than life painting.

I will keep my snarky thoughts to myself.

 

Does somebody else know how to use tiny url so this won't go off the page?

In my best New Orleans accent...Dat portrait is tarrrable!

Carl and BAD:

This may sound weird, but the guy in the portrait looks like a laid back, avuncular, welcoming, slightly disheveled scholar. The kind of guy who would smile sympathically over a spilled beaker or lost manuscript, and say something like, "We've all been there, and can learn from our mistakes. Let's just give it another try." Can there be a warm and fuzzy side to the lil' fella that we have not yet seen?

That pose which has never been seen by human eyes is evidence of an extremely creative artist. You get what you pay for.

Wait, wait -- did we get a new bird after the other one, you know, killed itself?

(I'm hunting up the appropriate issue of See More.)

Sorry to open up this old thread, but I just had the opportunity to see the portrait.  It strikes me as having been painted from a very odd point of view.  About shin level, I'd guess.  I wonder what "human eyes" -- other than those of a child --have ever seen SFT from this perspective.
