the truth in portraiture is not always very pleasant/heroic/ or
acceptable
A little exaggeration with the truth here becomes more desirable with
some hero's faces.

And when the Red Terror finally becomes an historical footnote, I'm
guessing
that the Evil Empire will be as well known for its remarkable
portrait
sculpture as ancient imperial Rome now is.
And let's not forget that portraiture is practiced in literature as
well.
Perhaps there it's easier for modern Americans to accept that the
goal of
portraiture is truth, rather than just excellent or innovative prose
