What happened to Winston Churchill in 1954?
When Sir Winston Churchill, the great British Prime Minister, reached his eightieth birthday in November, 1954, he was presented with his portrait by a well-known modern artist, Graham Sutherland. The painting had been ordered and paid for by the members of Parliament, who wanted to honor the Grand Old Man of World War II .
Sir Winston and Lady Churchill were deeply moved by this mark of respect and affection. Neither of them, of course, allowed the honors to see how much they both disliked the portrait. "It makes me look stupid which I am not ["protested Churchill in private. Publicly, he only remarked that it was"a fine example of modern art". His friends smiled; it was well known that Sir Winston didn’t care for modern art.
