A Visual History of the George W. Bush Presidency

Baron-Forness Art Gallery, 2nd Floor

Upon the completion of the G.W. Bush time in office, fifteen artists began the writing of that history, with each artist creating an image that reflects on an event or quote that occurred during or leading up to his time in office.
This print exchange portfolio was organized by Edinboro University of Pennsylvania Assoc. Professor William Mathie with assistance from Assoc. Professor John Lysak

George W. Bush during his years of service as President of the United States of America, commented a number of times that history would be the judge of his presidency. Upon the completion of his time in office fifteen artists began the writing of that history, with each artist creating an image that reflects on an event or quote that occurred during or leading up to his time in office. There was no set agenda for the images as a group. Each artist chose the event their image reflects on, and how to best document the quote or event.
