SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE (USA): Unmasking Thomas Jefferson: The president's twin portraits.

Written By Charis Tsevis

Smithsonian magazine commissioned me to create twin portraits of President Thomas Jefferson for a special issue on him and his secrets. The black-and-white version would symbolize the two sides of this historical personality. It is created with hundreds of photos, documents, and elements from the Jefferson's archives.
