I actually thought the statute made her look better...
To: dangus
Whoa!!
That is SO unflattering!
Was this done by the same artist who did the 'Britney giving birth" sculpture?

nice link...Clinton also says:
"I had a fascinating conversation a few months ago with the President of China, Jiang Zemin, in which we were having the kind of discussion we often have in public, and you can imagine what it was like.
And I looked at him and I said, "Mr. President, I do not want to contain China. I want to engage China. I want us to have a good partnership. But," I said, "there's only one way that you really present a threat to our security, and I'm sure it's never occurred to you." And he said, "Well, what are you talking about?" I said, "If everybody in China decides to get rich in exactly the same way people in America got rich and you all insist on buying cars that don't get any better mileage than the ones we've got now, we're going to burn up the atmosphere together. That is a threat to our security. We have to find a way for the Chinese to grow their economy and preserve the global environment, not tear it up." And I believe that and I think it's a great opportunity for us. So I'm glad we've done that.'

I noticed that both this bust of Hillary! and the famous Esquire cover of Bill are both from the exaggerated perspective of a lowly person looking up in awe at majesty.

No gazelle. A squat, low-center-of-gravity Sherman Tank is more like it. ;)
- Missus clinton's 'Presidential Bust To Be Unveiled at the Museum of Sex' seems to suffer from the same affliction as do the Nelson Shanks portrait of bill clinton and the Polshek clinton library: the court painter's too-obvious inside joke.
|
The court painter, like the commissioned architect, is the master of the inside joke. It is his only realistic hedge against the sycophancy that comes with patronage. The artist-for-hire encodes the inside joke in his work. The joke's efficacy is directly related to its decodability. If it is too obvious, or if it is too obscure, it doesn't work. Whereas the latter error is often harmless, the former is almost always fatal: If the joke is too obvious, the work of art, itself, becomes the punch line. The clinton library, which shimmies in the hot Arkansas sun like a trailer park or a bridge to nowhere depending on where you stand, suffers from this kind of failure.1 Nelson Shanks' portrait of bill clinton, which was unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery on Monday, is similarly flawed. Its jokes are so obvious, in fact, that when clinton ceremoniously pulled off its cover at the unveiling, what was exposed was not a portrait at all but a full-blown punch line. What we saw.... HEY CLINTON! SIZE DOESN'T MATTER. by Mia T, 4.27.06

Nope. The Borg Queen was good-looking, almost beautiful, compared to this...
