[From front jacket flap] To the President: Folk Portraits by the People is a tribute to the Presidents of the United States from Herbert Hoover to Bill Clinton, as celebrated in these imaginative portraits by artists from all walks of life, young and old alike. This collection of more than fifty icons, each one given "to the President," was assembled for an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution from the presidential libraries where they are preserved. These White House gifts include a jelly-bean mosaic of Ronald Reagan, a monument-sized Sphinx caricature of Franklin Roosevelt, a carved-coconut bust of Harry Truman (illustrated on the cover), a peach-pit sculpture of John Kennedy, and even a whimsical "chair portrait" of President Clinton, made shortly after his election victory. Author-historian James Barber examines the many subtle and unusual ways in which Americans and foreigners have interpreted the lives, times, and personalities of United States Presidents. Friendly and humorous, imaginative and sometimes irreverent, unique and commonplace, the portraits seen in these pages are irreplaceable national treasures. Seller Inventory # 20210804006
