Washington:
The artist who depicted US President Donald Trump has criticized as a “purposely distorted” picture, stating that his comment has damaged his business.
Colorado removed Trump’s official portrait in the state’s capital building last month when the President complained that it was deliberately ineffective.
Trump wrote on his true social platform on 24 March, “Nobody likes a bad picture or his own painting, but in Colorado, in the state capital … along with all other presidents, was purposefully distorted.”
“The artist also did President Obama, and he looks amazing, but one is really the worst on me,” Trump said.
The 78 -year -old Republican called for taking the oil painting down, and said the artist, Sarah boardman said, “She must have lost her talent because she grew up.”
The Democrat-controlled Colorado legislature said the same day that Trump’s complaint that the painting would be removed from the gallery in Rotunda, Capital-where it was hung from 2019-and kept in storage.
The boardman replied to Trump’s criticism in a statement on his website, said he completed the work correctly “without” purposeful deformation, “political bias, or any effort to real or contain the subject. ,
“President Trump is entitled to comment independently, as we are all, but additional allegations that I have objectively distorted ‘obtained’ picture ‘, and that I must have lost my talent because I have grown up’ Now and negatively are directly and negatively affecting my business of over 41 years,” said the British origin.
Boardman said in this statement that Trump’s portrait was hanging in Colorado Capital for six years, he got “heavy positive reviews” at commissioned work.
However, since Trump’s comments, “it has changed to the worst,” he said.
Apart from Trump and former President Barack Obama, the boardman was also commissioned to portray the portrait of former President George W. Bush.
