Bush: You're gonna wish your portrait is there....but it's gonna be hanging in sheriff's offices all over the country for MOST WANTED TERRORIST!
Who painted those, Thomas Kinkade, or R.Crumb?
And I wanna know what they’ll do once they run out of room in the WH to hang these bad portraits of bad former ex-presidents?
John Howard Sanden painted them. He is considered the dean of American portrait artists. I like his work, though I agree that it’s not innovative, and I too might have chosen someone else. We do have so many extraordinarily gifted portrait painters in this country, the best of them meeting in Philadelphia this week. Who would you have preferred to paint them?
P.S.: It’s very hard to judge the quality of an oil painting from a photo like this, since you can’t see the layers of transparent glazes that go into creating a realistic skin tone.
I think Kinkade croaked.
Do you think Robert Crumb will do the portrait of Michelle Obama? I think he might be able to capture her distinctive charms.
