FLINTSTONE — International artist Hilmar Gottesthal has created a unique oil painting, “An Appeal to the 47th President of the USA,” in honor of the National Day of Protest.
Some of the words are written in unsettled disarray in the style of Leonardo da Vinci often referred to as mirror writing — made from right to left rather than left to right.
Gottesthal is left-handed and ambidextrous.
The words on the painting are, “Sincerely hereby I and yes, we the people request respectfully by asking you to please Mister President so honor the constitution and rethink long-term positive obligations, consequences and responsibilities. In effect from now on for 2025 and on into the extended future: maintain, stabilize, restore, reform, rehabilitate and unify not only America. In consideration of the 4th anniversary of the Jan. 6th 2021 threat to democracy.”
Gottesthal resides in Flintstone where his Sanctuary Studios is located.
