Filed under: George Bush Art

It’s no secret that I’m partial to the genre of narrative art, but I was unaware of the genre of “political attack art” until I read the New York Daily News today. Reporting on the White House mug shots currently being shown as part of a printmaking exhibit at the New York Public Library, the newspaper seemed more interested in creating political hysteria than explaining the artistic intent behind the exhibit.

We interupt this program for a special announcement.  Several requests for me to "do something political" have flooded my in-box.
