Chang Kai Shek's funny bone

Art review

This is probably the most profound piece of art at the Chang Kai Shek memorial. It presents such a huge contrast relative to the rest of the masterpieces on display. Throughout my entire visit and stroll through the museum my face was stiff and stern with a deep focus in my eyes. I looked like an angry analyzer but I really just had to squint to see. As soon as I saw this portrait, my eyes opened, my cheeks stretched back, and I chuckled. This picture is so funny to me because there's a character from a modern Disney movie and the rest of the portrait is classical. The contrast is beautiful and hilarious.
