The Bush Years: A Summary
Siegfried Woldhek Dutch
Not on view
The noted Dutch caricaturist Woldhek sums up the years of George W. Bush's presidency in a graph of the tumbling stock market created for the Dutch daily newspaper the NRC Handelsblad. The downturned arrows encapsulate not only the crash of the economy during the final months of Bush's term in office but also what many viewed as the generally disappointing span of his eight years as president. Following in the caricatural tradition of depicting people as objects, Woldhek remarkably renders the recognizable features of Bush's face in just a few jagged lines.
