Acerca del libro
A common subject among many artists from the late 19th and early 20th Century including Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cezanne, was the comedic performer known as the harlequin.
An enigmatic character, the harlequin is known for being playful, uninhibited, mischievous, and funny. He is also shy, pensive and sad.
An extrovert and an introvert.
These same conflicts and contradictions resonate with me, which is why the harlequin has been such a popular subject of mine, as well.
No matter how many times I have portrayed him, the harlequin never ceases to surprise me.

As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
