      About This Book

      Everything that ought to be known about Robert Kelly can be found in his books, of which this is the fortieth.


      From "The Court Painter":


      How can I show you the truth of

      anyone witout his face you ask?

      The face is the last thing I paint,

      & the least important.

      It is there to trick the subject

      into thinking he is one,

      that he has been 'represented.'

      But where he is is in a fold

      of cape, shadow of a label,

      wrinkle between elbow & those wide

      gold stripes that tell how great he is
