C-SPAN American Presidents Portrait Exhibit and Tour Bus

The American Presidents Portrait Exhibit, a nationally touring project that brings the 41 presidents to life through oil portraits, images and historic biographical sketches, will be on public display at Washington University in St. Louis through Oct. 23. The exhibit is a joint effort of the C-SPAN public affairs cable channel and the White House Historical Association. This project, featuring oil portraits by Chas Fagan, renowned portraitist, landscape painter and sculptor, is a spin-off from C-SPAN's Peabody Award-winning cable series titled "American Presidents: Life Portraits."
