Hi

Masterful use of line and shading - the overall curve of the figure draws attention to the centre of the piece, but the amount of detail on the face brings it slightly closer to the top, resulting in the main attraction being roughly at the neck. Nice, sharp lines on the hair, and surprisingly clean in areas with high concentration of detail.

I feel that this piece draws from late-16th-century European Renaissance oil paintings as much as it does mid-20th-century American art, fusing the photorealism and oblique perspective of the Italian masters with the generic backgrounds of 1950s political pieces in order to multiply this work's already considerable cultural and socioeconomic impact.

The only thing wrong here seems to be that the head is a bit too small for it to be proportionate.

All in all, this rendering of humanity - this illustration of our time! - is nothing less than the epitome of visual philosophy; if you stare into its geometry for long enough, you will eventually solve all remaining unanswered moral, ethical, and (dare I say) scientific quandaries.
