George Bush as the Naked Emperor

Painting of President George W. Bush by Max Emadi as the Emperor in the Fable of "The Emperor's New Clothes"

Max Emadi's work "The Emperor's New Clothes" is just one painting in his Terrorists and Freedom Fighters series. This painting places President George W. Bush in the role of "leading man" in the fairy tale of the naked emperor ultimately exposed by a child. The President strides towards us from his desk in the Oval Office, grinning from ear to ear, looking for all the world like a Ken Barbie Doll. Despite his lack of clothes, it is easy to imagine President Bush in his jump-suit on the USS Abraham Lincoln on May 2, 2003 proclaiming "Mission Accomplished".
