A Familiar Picture

a: A cliche ~
b: portraiture

What: "Cliche is like portraiture because it is like a face; we know its structure well: eyes, nose, mouth - always the same three, yet each feature combines with each feature in a different way each time, and each assemblage delivers an unexpected gestalt of the never before seen. So while I suspect most of us share this feeling that the world is filled with limited, identifiable face types, we still only admit to resemblances, not to verisimilitude."
