The White House presents Life in the White House, an exclusive presentation of the rich history of the White House and West Wing
The Oval Office is the formal office of the president of the united states which is located in the west wing of the white house,where he confers with heads of state, diplomats, his staff, and other politicians and where he deals with the
issues of the day
Each president decorated it according to his taste and certainly the decoration of that indicates interests and believes and memories of him.
Just marble mantel from the original 1909 Oval Office, the presidential seal in the ceiling (which is the official arms of the U.S. presidency and is based on the great seal of united states) , and the two flags behind the president's
desk remined the same for all presidents.
Gorge Bush explains about his office in a personal interview; in this interview he speaks about the decoration of his workplace.When he talks about his office he .expresses his satisfaction of working in the nice and calm office.
He speaks about the large south-facing window behind the his desk, the carpet which indicates peace not war, the Resolute desk as old famous desk which was a gift from Queen Victoria to president Resolute B. Hayes in 1879 The desk was made famous by a photograph of President John F. Kennedy.
Then he speaks about the pictures in his office. Art may be selected from the White House collection, or may be borrowed for the length of an administration. Interestingly, he has selected several paintings depicting Texas scenes by Texas artists for his office. Many are on loan from museums in San Antonio and El Paso. He believes that all of the pictures in his office carry the meaning of peace, union, responsibility of the president. He believes that the view of one of his tableau says him that a president should shines he should shines for all members of his country.
Also three sculptures he selected are statue of the 3 presidents, he explains about Lincoln more, the named him as his favorite president whom conserved union of united states and made continuance of the America.
