Re: The Portraits
Quite frankly I'm a little embarassed
by those portaits of the adepts, they're
definitely "class B" works of art, and
I'm a little amazed they were regarded
highly (except for the spirit behind
them.) They look like spooks. M may
have "helped out" Schemlein(?) the
artist, but I doubt art was his forte,
which was more likely sword-play.
Part of the reason Blavatsky liked
them so much is because of her human
womanly self. She was totally
personally devoted to the adept,
and as an adept said in the MLs -
refering to her highly emotional
display on meeting him in Tibet -
that she would never become an
adept-proper, because of her
emotional nature.
