Churchill's Portrait
When
Sir Winston Churchill, the great Britishprime 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 donors 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. Churchill was so unhappy about the
portrait that finally his wife had it destroyed. Churchill died at ninety
in January, １９６５. Lady Churchill followed him in １９７７. Shortly after her
death, the public learned what had happened to Sutherland's painting, and a
heated argument broke out. The painter was understandably sad. The artistic
community, shocked and angry, claimed that the destruction of the picture
had been a crime. Historians said that they regretted the disappearance of
a historical document. All agreed that the Churchills didn't have the right
to do what they had done.
Well—did they? A good part of the public felt that the subject （and
owner） of a portrait had the right to get rid of it if it made him so
unhappy. The question, however, has been raised many times before: who has
the right to a work of art—the sitter, the owner,
the donor, or the artist who created it ?And when the painting is the
portrait of a historical figure, should the right of posterity be
considered, as the historians claimed?
Another
question comes to mind: who is qualified to judge a portrait? Graham Sutherland
had told Sir Winston that he would paint him “as he saw him.” Churchill never had a
chance to see the work in progress since the painter refused to show it to
him. He found out only when he received his present that Sutherland had
seen him as a heavy, sick, tired old man. Since he hated old age, he was
naturally hurt and offended. But was the portrait a good one, as many （including
the painter） said? Or was it bad and offensive as others （and the sitter）
thought? Who is to judge? It is well known that we never see ourselves as
others see us; but do we see ourselves better than they do?
