The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph.It burns its way into your new acquaintance ’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever. Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearanceof his subjects, but zeroing in on the essenceof their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描侧) . One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see,for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishnessof Clinton, the awkwardness of GeorgeBush. Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he ’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject ’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “ Well, er, that ’s great. But it really isn ’t me. ”The crowd ’s convincing echo of “ Ohyes it is! ” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world ’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I askedRobert how he could capture people ’s personalities so well. He said, “ It ’s simple. I just look at them. ” Almost every fact of people ’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move. First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people ’s heads are spinning.
