Churchill Returns To The Oval Office


I never realized that it looked like a man craved from crude oil -- even in higher resolution. No wonder Obama kept it out of sight. Anyways, it's good to have him back in spirit.

But Trump is a dark Nazi.

I heard it on ABC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS.

Made from crude oil? Looks craggy to me. Typical of work by the sculptor Jacob Epstein. Actually, the Brits knighted the old guy so it's Sir Jacob Epstein.

Good to have the man who saved us from Hitler back in the Oval Office.

Winnie deserved a place there more than Pissy ever did.

I didn't realize it's such an ugly piece of art.

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. There was a mid-20th century school of sculpting that believed that the surface should be active - to make you have to look at the work in a deeper way, not just appreciate its surface beauty. There is a giant Kennedy head at the Kennedy center, and it is even rougher than that piece.

But yeah, it's ugly. There are many other, better looking portrait busts of Winnie around, and even though Epstein was a peer of one of my children's relatives, I still don't like his work.

I think the God Emperor should cut off the heads of some of his opponents and have them shrunk and displayed in the oval office.

I thought the sculpture in question was made of Elgin marble.

How's that for cultural insensity?

I like it, especially the Greece-y Parth.
