Portraits are Political
King Charles III Portrait — An Acquired Taste or Crimson Mystery?
The artist faces the critics — will it go down in art history in flames or as famous as Nessie
Disclaimer — Fudgin’ Politics knows nothing about art. We’ve been to museums. To look at artwork, and say, ooh, aah! Pretty!
Now on display in London!
King Charles III unveiled his 8.5- by 6.5-foot framed official portrait. His really red painting. And here comes the judges!
King Charles unveiled this official portrait, depicting him being consumed by the scarlet fires of hell — John Oliver
That shimmering, psychedelic crimson almost swallows up the poor monarch — Washington Post
His name is King Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor. The King dressed in the uniform of the Welsh Guards adorned with his medals. His hands gripping a sword.
It’s portrayed as traditional meets modern style.
The Royal Portrait is odd. It almost looks like a disembodied head floating in a sea of crimson. What’s with all the red? Is that the King’s favorite color?
