What Would George Washington Look Like Today? A Pandemic Creation Draws Attention. (Published 2021)

A bored musician used Photoshop to depict a modern version of the first president. A Washington biographer and an impersonator had thoughts on its accuracy.

I find both versions of George Washington disappointing but the one of Julius Caesar much more charming than I would have expected.

Your thoughts?

I think the woman's version of Washington is better.

Interesting. Seems so much warmer and more approachable.

FDR - I have been to his home in Hyde Park and his library. The one thing I found so interesting were some color photos of him in his library. So much of what we have seen of him is black and white. The color pictures made it seem more recent and real.

I agree with MacMadame - the 2nd picture is better.

The woman who did the second image of Washington and the image of Julius Caesar is a professional visual artist; the man who did the first image of Washington is not, and it shows.
