    This is hanging in the National Portrait Gallery and is the official one. I hate it and it looks so much worse in person.

      Obviously you are allowed to like and dislike whatever art you want. But the thing I like about this portrait in person is it looks better the farther away you look at it. When you examine the portrait up close it doesn’t look like a real person. For someone who probably wants us all to look at his whole life and not focus at certain parts, I think it’s a pretty good portrait.

        I don’t find it to be a good piece of art and not befitting something as lofty as an official presidential portrait.
