The National Portrait Gallery is running an American Cool exhibit. I will definitely go see this.

The portrait depicts a bearded Jobs from 1981, riding a motorbike between meetings at Apple. Portraits and subjects were selected according to four criteria — that the focus must have made an original artistic contribution, with a signature style; that they must have in some way been rebellious or transgressive; that they must have iconic status; and that they must have left a significant cultural legacy.

Certainly that couldn’t be more true for Jobs. Rebellious, iconic, and leaving a significant cultural legacy.
