Geddit?!
Jonathan Yeo's portrait of Tony Blair is stunning. He may have perhaps overdone the "grayscaling" of Blair's suit, shirt and tie in order to show the piquant scarlet of Blair's poppy. But the face is remarkable well painted and, of course, the poppy makes the main point about Blair.
In fifty years time, people will walk past it and ask "Why does the poppy stand out so much?"
It is a work of genius.
