George W. Bush’s New Book of Paintings of Political Prisoners Will Be Out in March

The third collection includes 44 paintings and biographical sketches of political prisoners and dissidents, with a foreword by Natan Sharansky.

  • On Wednesday, The Penguin Random House imprint Crown announced that Former President George's upcoming book, "The Call of Freedom: Portraits of Political Prisoners and Dissidents," will be released March 9 and coincide with an exhibition at the Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.
  • Featuring 44 paintings and biographical sketches, the collection highlights Mahsa Amini, whose death in 2022 sparked Iranian protests, and imprisoned Nicaraguan Bishop Rolando Jos, with Former Soviet Union dissident Natan Sharansky contributing a foreword.
  • This project follows Former President George's previous collections, "Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief's Tribute to America's Warriors" and "Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants," establishing a pattern of artistic portraiture.
  • The book champions human rights, though Former President George's record faces criticism regarding the CIA's use of waterboarding and abuse of Iraqis at the Abu Ghraib prison during his presidency.
  • Writing that those living in liberty have a duty to stand with those who do not, Former President George emphasized this work alongside Bush Institute efforts highlights that the United States cares deeply about people seeking freedom.
