也许，你的记忆还停留在小布什初拿画笔和被人批画画没天赋，如今，这位美国前总统已经小有所成并出版了自己的画册，更让你想不到的是，小布什的画册还登上了畅销榜的榜首。

George W Bush’s book of paintings have been praised by one of the nation’s leading art critics, describing the former president’s work as surprisingly sophisticated and warm.

美国前总统小布什的画作受到了美国国内一位著名艺术批评家的赞赏，该批评家认为布什的画作“出人意料的精妙和温暖”。

The book, published on February 28, is currently top of The Washington Post’s list of best sellers.

这本于上月28日出版的画册已然登上《华盛顿邮报》畅销榜榜首。

And their chief art critic, Philip Kennicott, said that the 66 portraits of former soldiers, sold in aid of veterans, show the former president honing his craft.

《华盛顿邮报》的首席艺术批评家菲利普•肯尼科特称，这66张美国退伍大兵的肖像画显示出小布什日益精进的画功。小布什出售这本画册是为了捐助退伍军人。

“No matter what you think of George W. Bush, he demonstrates in this book and in these paintings virtues that are sadly lacking at the top of the American political pyramid today: curiosity, compassion, the commitment to learn something new and the humility to learn it in public,” said Mr Kennicott.
