SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On the eve of the January 6th Congressional hearings, famed San Francisco artist Elaine Badgley Arnoux (www.badgleyarts.com), 96, is unveiling a wall-sized indictment of the 45th President, the GOP and the anti-democratic forces that laid siege to the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 in a failed coup attempt.
Key Points:
- "This is the January 6th Guernica," said Arnoux, referring to Picasso's famous painting following the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
