George W. Bush is marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with reflections and 16 new paintings.
The milestone renews focus on how the attacks defined his presidency and legacy.
背景

Bush's presidency and became its defining moment; he has described himself as becoming "a wartime president" when the second plane hit the towers. Ahead of the 25th anniversary, Bush has given interviews recounting the day and its aftermath, including his visit to a mosque six days later where he declared "Islam is peace." He has also painted 16 new works on the courage, sacrifice and resilience that followed, now displayed at his presidential center.
