Bill Clinton

This portrait of President Bill Clinton was painted by renowned artist Simmie Knox in 2002 after Clinton left office. Knox, who also painted a portrait of First Lady Hillary Clinton, became the first African American selected to complete an official White House portrait. A former governor of Arkansas, Clinton served as president from January 20, 1993 until January 20, 2001. Both portraits of the Clintons by Knox debuted in the East Room of the White House on June 14, 2004.
