Enrique Chagoya
In his drawing series Poor George (2004), Mexican-born artist Enrique Chagoya pays homage to Philip Guston's drawings Poor Richard (Nixon), as well as to the work of Mexican satirist José Guadalupe Posada. In Poor George #1, George W. Bush is depicted wearing a cowboy hat and holding a large stick, while a miniature version of Guston's Nixon stands beside him in a mirrored pose. By joining the two American Presidential administrations, Chagoya raises questions about history repeating itself, while honoring Guston's work in iconography, subject and title, and in the restricted use of tones (black, red).
