Museum drops 'nude Bush' artwork

Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 10:20 AM by emad aisat sana

BBC News

A cartoon-style nude painting of US President George W Bush has been taken down by a museum in Washington.

Kayti Didriksen's Man of Leisure, King George, shows a nude Mr Bush being attended to by a man resembling Vice-President Dick Cheney.

It is based on Edouard Manet's work Olympia, which hangs in a Paris museum.

The painting was part of an exhibition called Funky Furniture. A City Museum spokeswoman said the exhibit was not what it had expected.
