American Presidents.

[Darius_Jedburgh]

A bit arty and unreal.
I know who they all are except the guy with the pipe. Looks like a cross between Ford and Carter, but neither of them smoked a pipe.
Can anyone identify this guy?

(Cue the usual political rabble and their whingeing)

 

[Sterlo]

I think it is Ford, pics on Google of him with a pipe, either him or it's Bing Crosby.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Interesting. Thank you.
Defo not Bing Crosby.

Where does picture come from? I am asking as to why these individuals are shown, but not others

I don't know. I have no idea why these are shown and not others. It is a painting so some licence must be allowed.
Strange choices given their respective results.
Hard to see Nixon being welcome in any gathering.

 

[AndyRM]

He's done ones of Democrats too.

The last two paragraphs make a lot of sense:

"As a practical matter, politicians rarely object to having other people use their name and likeness on products. It's too easy to cause a social media backlash that could hurt them politically. Politicians also don't want to be viewed as hindering free speech, or picking petty battles while they are supposed to be running the country.

Does this mean you're free to launch a line of presidential bottle openers? Not necessarily. A president's name and image can be subject to several types of intellectual property, even if the president has been dead for centuries. A lawyer can advise you on the trademarks, copyrights, and rights of publicity that may apply to your project."

I was trying to find a reason for this grouping.

No solution seemed to fit

[Darius_Jedburgh]

I'm struggling with the Democrats. Anyone identified them all?

 

[AndyRM]

(Roughly) L - R:

Andrew Jackson, Harry Truman, Lydon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Woodrow Wilson.

 

[Darius_Jedburgh]

Thanks. Jackson and Wilson beat me.

 

[Cycleops]

I'd say Eisenhower with the pipe
Looks like Lincoln with his back to us but don't see why he's there.
