And since I missed yesterday, here is a FCD twofer!
Andrew Jackson, 1767-1845, Ferdinand Pettrich, Marble, Replica of 1836 Original, Smithsonian American Art Museum
I think my favorite thing about this bust is that the sculptor decided to carve Jackson au naturale. I feel that stripping him of his clothes also strips away his dignity, which is a fitting tribute to the man who initiated the Trail of Tears. The label makes no mention of his Indian policies besides calling him an “Indian fighter and hero of the Battle of New Orleans,” an oversight that will be corrected when I come to power (“Hey kids: laugh at the naked genocidal maniac!”).

Megan at the National Gallery of Art
Oy…second flu bug this week! I have literally spent the last 48 hours in bed and missed a daily post for the second time. Unfortunately I hadn’t run into Marilyn again and hadn’t met Zerah yet, so I’m blaming this on on the kids. Or Megan.

This look is the exact same look I get when I whip out a camera and start pointing it at people. You know you’ve been shooting a lot when you get the same look from inanimate objects.
