‘Americans who have come here’: George W. Bush paintings explore immigration in DC exhibit
President George W. Bush, who took up painting since leaving office, is holding an exhibit just steps from his former residence at the White House that focuses on immigration.
The traveling exhibit showcases 43 paintings by the 43rd president at the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream in Northwest D.C.
The exhibit titled “ Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants ” is on display at the Milken Center until January.
“This is his series entirely on immigrants. Really, using that frame of the generations of Americans who have come here,” said Emily Mitzner, director of content and exhibits at the Milken Center.
Mitzner said some of the names and faces may be familiar to visit
