I’m not at all surprised that the official commissioned portrait of Donald Trump that will hang in the Smithsonian is dignified and full of American symbolism, but I am flabbergasted that the Washington Post said nice things about it. Maybe they just remember how hard it was to say something positive about Barack Obama’s portrait, where he has a sixth finger and is sitting in some shrubbery. Remember that?
The Washington Post positively gushed over Trump’s pick for the official portrait.
His portrait of Trump has both artistic and historic merit, Ureña said. “I like the composition of the photograph,” she said of Dukovic’s image. “It is an angle we don’t often see. You get a little bit of the other side and what’s behind the desk.”
The photograph’s historical details include flags along the wall representing the five branches of the armed forces, a portrait of Andrew Jackson and one of Benjamin Franklin by Joseph Duplessis that the museum loaned to the White House. These reflect Trump’s interests and influences, Ureña said. The photograph was taken the day before Trump officially announced he would seek reelection, adding to its historical value, Ureña said.
“We want to not only depict the individual,” she said, “but also bring as much history as much context as possible.”
Very presidential indeed!
I almost forgot about that ugly-ass portrait of the Halfrican Queen!
It is anything but Presidential, as opposed to PDJT!
I wonder how long it will be displayed before it is vandalized?
Classy, classy, classy and it is such a great depiction of how much he loves this country. BFH could have done it better but it is really great portrait.
…itz like there’s not enough Glade to cover up the smell of the Kenyan Kremepuff crapping on America!
That’s what a REAL President looks like!
Very nice.
Actual art.
Dignified and strong.
Looking at the Barry coloring book picture again…he has two right hands. LOLOLOLOL!!
at least DJT is not hiding in the “bushes” like pres breezy
Very nice.
It also has a ‘southern grandpa’ feel to it.
“I done told you to stop. If I have to get up… it’s yo ass!”
To me it says a few things:
I get a sense of, ” Lets get this done because I have to get back to work.”
The desk is a classic and powerful symbol where he works not poses for pictures. The portrait shows the Working side of the desk.
The President looks like he is about to push himself up from the chair in order to go and do something rather than reline and start to sit.
The look in his eyes is of purpose and resolve. The look of a man who has a lot to accomplish.
It is a portrait of an Office with reminders in that office of what its purpose & history are.
The image recalls the past and indicates an intent to move forwards to create a future.
Maybe that is why I see him pushing up rather than sitting down waiting for a result.
That is what I see.
GregMan says: “That’s what a REAL President looks like!”
I respectfully FTFY, “that is what THE real President looks like.”
Still my President! Massive election fraud!
Obama, the Chia pet. 😆
He had his shot and blew it… bigly. It’s time for him to go away and let the guy from Florida give it a go.
Elwood – Trump got beaten by the very SWAMP he was trying to destroy. It’s increasingly obvious that no President – alone – can beat it now that it’s backed by Chinese and Globalist money. We The People must – and soon – or we’re gone.
Reminiscent of the portrait of Churchill.
We already knew Dingle Barry was in with the Bushes…
