As a consuming public we are at ease when an easel signifies the presence of the artist. There are ways in which you have to sit and contemplate as an artist and indeed as a spectator. An implicit attraction is the presence of the model, quietly smouldering as contemplated by the artist, whose mind is, of course, far above such matters as sex. Mrs Gable is pretending to paint a canvas which, on close examination, turns out to be a painting by Henri Rousseau. I have a similar image of Dwight Eisenhower doing the same to underpin his artistic credentials as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, also faking a Rousseau
