Listen on NPR: An Artist Imagines the White House as It Once Was

Monday, May 2, 2011

Listen to Peter Waddell's NPR interview on his exhibit An Artist Visits the White House Past

Artist Peter Waddell spoke to NPR about the research behind the fourteen paintings that comprise the  An Artist Visits the White House Past exhibit in an interview that aired Saturday.

“When I first went to the White House, I thought that must be how it always was, Waddell says. “It was a big shock to discover that how you see it now is quite recent. It wasn’t a museum. It was just a house that was endlessly redecorated.”
