Woodrow Wilson, former President of the United States, was one of the greatest idealists of all time. Many feel him a greater idealist than Thomas Jefferson. Wilson, an over-achiever, wrote many volumes and ran two of our country’s top schools before taking office in what would be a lack-luster two terms. No one was more disappointed than Wilson himself. Throughout much of his life, Wilson suffered strokes with the third incapacitating him leaving his second wife to do much of his duties while still in office. In this portrait, I took a slogan which appeared on the side of a “motored re-election campaign wagon” which putted around my home town of Saint Louis, in 1918. “HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR.” Using this slogan I added the sentence: “Well…not so much.” Woodrow Wilson was not able to keep his promise or keep us out of the first, World War.
