EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States. Painted by Calvin Curtis, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Garfield's conservative profile with his distinguished moustache and beard. Garfield's presidency was tragically cut short when he became only the second president in history to be assassinated on July 2nd, 1881. His term in office lasted a mere six months, making it one of the shortest in American history after William Henry Harrison. Despite his brief time as president, Garfield left an indelible mark on American politics. This portrait reflects his Republican affiliation and serves as a reminder of his significant role in shaping the nation during this pivotal period. Displayed against a neutral background, Garfield's half-length portrayal exudes confidence and strength. The artist masterfully captures every detail, from the texture of his clothing to the intensity in his eyes. Preserved within a private collection but made accessible through this print by Peter Newark American Pictures, this artwork allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. It serves as a testament to Garfield's legacy and reminds us of our nation's complex political past.
