Appleman presents this special retrospective exhibit to commemorate the 55th Presidential Inaugural. "The exhibit looks at Bush in his first term, at the race for the Democratic nomination, and at the general election campaign through the medium of the magazine cover. The purpose of the exhibit is to show how these individuals and events have been portrayed and to encourage viewers to think about these depictions. The types of images used, the choice of words, and the interaction of the words and the image on a magazine cover combine to create a specific impression which in turn contributes to our broader view." | ||
