Psychologically fascinating. In the shower but not in the water. In the mirror but not looking at the mirror.

Very American in context.

Both of the paintings depict W cleansing himself in a self portrait. One in a bath and one in a shower.

What is he washing off?

Why don't they address the viewer like a traditional self portrait?

It's very interesting indeed.

reflection, a human body & a missing arm . . .

Certainly amateurism has some to do with it, but the design choices are interesting nonetheless.

I don't even find his technique primitive. It's very much in the mainstream of American art with the psychological riff of an Ionesco play. Normal, mundane, disturbing.

The church painting was blah. The self-portraits are stunning.

I would love to see his sketchbook.

I was thinking in that range about Edward Albee or something verging on Derida.

wash off.

Except maybe for the claw-like shower head.

I knew this style looked familiar - trying to place it, I came up short.

Angel in Texas

soaking it all in.. but not really.

on Dubya, I mean

of course W looks like a Chimp so .......

Now the poor Obamas have to think of nude GWB while living in the White House.

The REAL naked Dubya is here:

What a strange brain he has.

I don't miss him. Ever.

Of all the Presidents we've ever had, he really seemed to genuinely hate the American people.

That I like pretending he doesn't exist.

That said, what struck me was that the emperor was wearing no clothes.

Er, as it were...

Why do implant this shit?

if he had balls, they were probably Condi's.........

I would cry.

Hmmmm ....

Did did read that he sent this to his fucking SISTER??

We were trying to make sense of that over on FB, but really...when did he ever make sense!

His poor sister though. If my brother sent me something like this, I'd move out of the country and change my name!

Well, fuck, I dunno.

At least he's not in charge of the nuclear codes anymore.

OMFG.

...the kitty said it best.

PEACE!

retire to count their money? apparently repubs only become president for the prestige, not the service to their country.

I commend anyone who does art/self expression. My thoughts are he must like the look of his back, and it is kind of a student type of painting, with the self-portrait, and general composition.

I found the alcoholic nose and droopy swollen eyes in the mirror to be quite interesting.

The shower room would then hold a different meaning for him.
