American Portrait is a canvas stretched across the centuries, painted with the dark hues of Henry Kissinger’s realism and the bright strokes of James Carter’s idealism. The interplay of their tones creates a tapestry in which their philosophies collide and blend like colors meeting at twilight.

The frame, measuring 100 years in each direction, both anchors and magnifies the composition. Yet within its borders, the painting transcends chronology. It invites the viewer to linger, to see beyond contrasts and find the moments in which brushstrokes converge into something even more profound - a portrait not just of two individuals, but of a nation’s struggle for freedom.

  • Where there are no absolute values, there is spiritual emptiness. The worst thing about a loss of faith is not that someone has stopped believing something, but that they are ready to believe anything.

    - Fritz Kraemer

  • Thousands of the most modern tanks will be of no use for the defense of a country, if the men in there are unwilling to fight, and here I say it, to die for the cause.

    - Fritz Kraemer

  • That is humanity in the 20th century. People reach such a stupor of suffering that life and death, animation or immobility can't be differentiated anymore. And then, who is dead and who is alive? The man whose agonized face stares at me from the cot or the man who stands with a bowed head and emaciated body?

    - Henry Kissinger

  • When I went into the army I was a refugee and when I got out I was an immigrant.

    - Henry Kissinger

  • What distinguishes me from Johnson is that I have the will in spades. I want the military and I want the NSC staff to come up with ideas on their own which will recommend action that is strong, threatening and effective.

    - Richard Nixon

  • You leave, and my wish is that you and your country will find happiness under this sky. But, mark it well, that if I shall die here on the spot and in my country that I love, it is too bad, because we all are born and must die one day. I have only committed this mistake of believing in you, the Americans.
