Lincoln Portrait in West Wing Under Attack - Abuse of Art / National Treasures Trump Style


Wikipedia Commons, Old Frame
Lincoln by artist George Henry Story


I hope Pence and his White House team take better care of Coronavirus management in the U.S. than they mistreat the Lincoln Portrait, the great emancipator, by artist George Henry Story, formerly in the Oval Office, with Bush and Obama admin and replaced by one of Jackson, the de-emancipator of native peoples, with Trump. 





Looks like they replaced the original frame, a no no in the art world, and replaced it in a cheap gilt imitation frame from Michaels's. The canvas looks like the poor fit of the painting in the frame is causing stress on the painting. Too much or too little humidity in that unidentified room in the West Wing.

According to EurAsia Review, the official White House photo by D. Myles Cullen depicts Vice President Mike Pence meeting with the President’s Coronavirus Task Force earlier this week in the West Wing of the White House.
