Thank you Tomas, someone already told me via pm. :-)

When I saw this picture I was instantly reminded of some paintings I saw recently in a big Chinese art exhibition here in Vienna. A series of large portraits by artist Zhang Xiaogang. The color palette is rather pale and monotonous but there's a thin red line in some paintings. I'm not sure I "got" what this work was about and I'm also not sure in case of Izidor's picture, but it makes me think.

Intersting. Could anyone translate the remarks for me?
