George W. Bush, self portrait taking a shower
Recent revelations that George W. Bush had started painting portraits of himself naked in the shower as a pastime—and the rush by critics and pundits to compare his efforts to everything from outsider art to the work of Pierre Bonnard—got us here at Time Out New York to thinking about other well-known figures who like to make art. Granted, judged on merit alone, most works by celebrity artists would recieve scant attention. But the voyeuristic impulse to check out the artistic dabblings of the famous and infamous is a totally understandable urge. With that in mind, TONY presents this informal survey of art by some of the boldfaced names who’ve tried to follow in the footsteps of Leonardo or Picasso, with admittedly mixed results.
