George W. Bush shares painting of moment he learned of 9/11 attack
The series includes four oil paintings that revisit Bush’s 9/11 memories and will remain on display through Sept. 30, the museum said.
- On Friday, Former President George Bush unveiled "Remembering 9/11," a 16-work exhibition at the Bush Presidential Museum in Dallas, marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
- The collection features a painting of chief of staff Andrew Card whispering news of the second plane attack to Bush during a visit to an elementary school in Sarasota, Florida.
- Other works in the 16-piece series display symbols of resilience, including an American flag at the Pentagon and smoke rising over New York City, remaining on view through Sept 30.
- Visitors like educator Farran Burnette praised the exhibit's "raw" emotional resonance, while online critics labeled the paintings "disrespectful," arguing Bush is treating a national crisis as personal trauma.
- Bush, who began painting in 2009, stated the works "reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience" that emerged from the defining moment, offering a visual account of his two-term administration.
