    I love this discussion! I was giving highlights of it to my family last night at dinner and they were riveted. My oldest daughter, especially, whose double-majoring in astrophysics and gender studies, loved the idea of intertwining celebrity, sexuality, and espionage. More people need to see it. Thank you for sharing the talk. I hope to see the exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery and get some good time at the Spy Museum soon.

    Still amazed by the direct simplicity of these charcoal portraits-- and glad that this exhibition was mounted even in a time when few could visit and enjoy the works, though the gallery was filled and waiting. We tend to forget-- here where I live a local museum (MART) had mounted a show to display a newly-restored Caravaggio masterpiece, along with related masterful works...and nothing but the video tour remains. Not a soul could visit the museum during lockdown. Celebrate our current open access to original works of art, and try to see actual works as often as possible. It makes a difference.
