George H.W. Bush

One of the true stand-outs
in the Presidential collection at
the Smithsonian Institution is the
elegant and perceptive portrayal of
President George H.W. Bush by Ronald
Sherr. The President's head and figure
are sharply etched in contrasting
light and shade, the Presidential
glance is strong yet gentle. With
a masterly freedom, the artist gives
us a sweeping view of a stately White
House interior, struck in quickly
with washes of limpid oil color.
