What do you imagine life to be in the waning retirement years of the former president of the most powerful country on earth? What a jarring contrast it must be.
The paintings represent an new, and perhaps candid insight into the thoughts and feelings of a former president. They might reveal something we wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to observe. GWB may not even know what he's revealing about himself.
My take on the paintings is that they project a sense of loneliness, separation, and introspection.
very interesting.
It seriously does make me like the guy more.
I know he put on the tough front of "you can't regret anything and I'd invade again," but who can't look at this and think he's having second thoughts?
