Although grateful for this assignment, Brezinka quickly found himself at the crossroads where creativity and conscience collide.
"Portraiture is the most personal – and certainly the most psychological – of art forms. It may even be the most political." – Kim Sajet, Director, National Portrait Gallery
Artist's Comments:
One of the most interesting items used in this portrait is a small piece of the original iconic bright red cape with the big yellow "S" patch affixed to the back that Christopher Reeve wore as he portrayed Superman in the blockbuster film. It was provided to Brezinka by a friend who is a major collector of all things interesting - antique books, fine art, cars and such. It has been used as a portion of Trump's red tie. Many Americans believe that Donald Trump can save The United States and is in some way, their Superman. See photos of the original cape shown right.
