Tour The Incredible Gallery With All Of President George W. Bush"s Paintings

While we got our first glimpse Friday of some of the 24 paintings former President George W. Bush would be displaying at his presidential library in Dallas, Texas, Reuters photographer Brandon Wade has now snapped some pictures of many more.

Bush, who took up painting as a hobby after he left office, is showing off his collection at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in an exhibit titled “The Art of Leadership: A President’s Personal Diplomacy.” 

Inside the exhibit, which opened on Saturday, are 24 portraits of world leaders — all of whom, Bush says, have never seen them before.

Take a look: 

Visitors are first greeted with a self-portrait of Bush himself, along with one of his father and 41st President George H. W. Bush. 

Then there’s one of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Bush described on the Today Show as a “person who in many ways viewed America as an enemy. I tried, of course, to dispel him of that notion.”

And another of Putin’s portrait, which is surrounded by photographs of the two world leaders together.Here’s one of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Each portrait has photographs and other memorabilia or gifts to accompany them.

This is former Australian President John Howard.

The Dalai Lama:

Another photographer caught this wall with four portraits, displaying (clockwise from top left) Latvia’s former president Vaira Vike-Freiberga, Ghana’s former president John Kufuor, France’s former president Jacques Chirac and Nigeria’s former president Olusegun Obasanjo.

Here’s former Czech President Vaclav Havel, above a signed note and gift.This portrait is of former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

The portrait of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is surrounded by photos of their various meetings. Bush said his portrait conveyed a strong and “passionate” person and a “reliable friend.”Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah is seen here.And German Chancellor Angela Merkel:Another wall displays four different world leaders, including (clockwise from top-left) Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, former French President (2007-2012) Nicolas Sarkozy and former South Korean President (2008-2013) Lee Myung-bak.Here’s former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.And Liberia’s President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Okay, some of you may know about this, but dont spoil it for those who do not.

I have come across a photo of one of the earliest born people to ever be photographed.
Conrad Heyer was born in 1749, and was 103 when he was photographed in 1852.
Ps this is verified on record too, so it is not hearsay.

This man lived to see the industrial revolution, French revolution, the war of 1812, the Napoleonic wars, a year without summer, the invention of the telegraph, railroad, steamboat, he even saw George Washington with his own eyes when he fought for him during the war!

Now if you think about it, born in the first half of the 1700s, he without doubt met many people who were born in the 1600s (middle aged people/ elderly people over 50 would have been alive and well in 1749).

Can you imagine? this guy actually met, and spoke to in living breathing colour (at the time) people from the 1600s!

Now if you times the amount of time that we are looking back, through the first hand experiences of this man, by just over four times, thats the time when the whole christ story happened no?

My point is, does this not show how when we look back at something happening say 1000 or 2000 years as `myths from the past`.. it really was not that long ago in the tide of times, in fact it was almost like yesturday, with the billions of years that the universe has been around.

Take for example the WW2, remember when all the footage used to be grainy black and white, and now that there is so much colour and even hd remastered footage, these people become real life, real people not grainy images from yestur-year.

I still cant get over the fact that he knew people who were alive during the same century Shakespeare and Cromwell died, and in the case of Cromwell, who did not die till 1658, those people probably did see him. Just goes to show you how when you look back at things in a time line, suddenly time does not seem all that far away does it.
