Artwork Description:
This magnificent painting is a rendition of Pope Innocent X's likeness after Diego Velasquez and Francis Bacon. It depicts the sitter in a heavily distorted manner, and the image resembles a television screen with strong distorting noise. It symbolizes how mass media, news reports, and TV coverage distort the personas of leaders and celebrities, especially in times of difficult decisions.
