Да, из всех жанров искусства для нас важнейшим является портрет.
"Mr. Trump directed me to find a straw bidder to purchase a portrait of him that was being auctioned at an Art Hamptons Event. The objective was to ensure that his portrait, which was going to be auctioned last, would go for the highest price of any portrait that afternoon. The portrait was purchased by the fake bidder for $60,000. Mr. Trump directed the Trump Foundation, which is supposed to be a charitable organization, to repay the fake bidder, despite keeping the art for himself." https://docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO00/20190227/108969/HHRG-116-GO00-Wstate-CohenM-20190227.pdf

The ex-MI6 source said: “The way this was done in Russia is that nothing was written down. Don’t expect me or anyone else to produce a document with Putin’s signature saying please X bribe Y with this amount in this way. He’s not going to do that.” He went on: “Putin is an ex-intelligence officer. Everything he does has to be deniable,” and said the deals with voters “would have been strategic level but not state to state because of the need for deniability. That’s why the oligarchs were brought in.” The ex-MI6 source said the intelligence about “collusion” between the Russian and Qatari bids centred on a visit by Igor Sechin, Russia’s deputy prime minister and the country’s most powerful oil magnate, to Doha in April 2010 to discuss the Yamal gas deal. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/putin-sent-tame-oligarchs-on-deniable-missions-to-win-bid-90hcr2q9mch
Some of those “deniable” acts, according to the Sunday Times, included the handing out of high-priced art to FIFA voters, including a painting believed to be by Pablo Picasso to UEFA’s Platini and an additional landscape painting to FIFA voting member Michel D’Hooghe of Belgium. The latter painting was said to be wrapped in a paper bag and given to D’Hooghe by Vyacheslav Koloskov, a former FIFA vice president and Russia 2018 World Cup committee member. D’Hooghe, who is reportedly being investigated along with four others by FIFA in a new corruption probe connected to the World Cup bids, confirmed the receipt of the painting to the Sunday Times, but noted he thought it held no monetary value. He also said it was “absolutely ugly” and added that he did not vote for Russia to win the 2018 bid. Platini, however, denies the allegation that he was given a Picasso painting from Putin. “Allegations in the Sunday Times relating to my actions in the 2018 and 2022 bidding processes are total fabrications,” Platini told CNN. “The matter has now been passed to my legal advisers.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2014/12/01/vladimir-putin-allegedly-gave-uefa-president-michel-platini-a-picasso-in-exchange-for-a-fifa-world-cup-vote/

Портрет Эндрю Джексона в Овальный кабинет принес другой любитель искусства, Стив Бэннон https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1324268.html?thread=43275756#t43275756
Но с картинами остаются загадки:
1. Что за картину прислал в подарок Арас Агаларов? https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1464905.html?thread=50732105#t50732105
2. Была ли покупка MBS картины Леонардо у Рыболовлева частью схемы по отмыванию денег? https://yakov-a-jerkov.livejournal.com/1513836.html?thread=52680044#t52680044
