About the Book
Not far from my home is Columbus Park, a large prairie-style recreational area that opened in the early 1920’s, designed in part by Jens Jensen, a renowned Danish landscape architect.
Over the years, I have often photographed Columbus Park’s natural splendor. But now, rather than showcase its beauty in a traditional way, I decided to try something bit different.
By inverting and reversing the photos, the ordinarily recognizable lagoon, trees, the prairie plants, and flowers, have dissolved into densely patterned, kaleidoscopic designs in Columbus Park ReImagined.

About the Creator
Jonathan Franklin

As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
