    Portrait exhibit brings 47 American presidencies to life
    Six vintage-style portraits of U.S. political figures in a 3x2 grid on tan backgrounds, sketched in colored-pencil style.

    Portraits: Salvatore Catalano

    America's 250 years have been divided into 47 presidencies, served by 45 men.

    • A new exhibit on display in the lobby of Goldman Sachs' global headquarters in New York City brings each presidency to life. Artist Salvatore Catalano pairs a portrait of every president with a quote that captures the era or the individual.

    Why it matters: "Most Americans can't name the presidents, much less tell you what they look like," Catalano tells Axios. "This was a labor of love."

    Why it matters: It's the first indictment prosecutors have secured since President Trump asserted that vandals had damaged D.C.'s reflecting pool shortly after it underwent a $14 million upgrade.
