Mario Cuomo, one of America's most entertaining political figures, has refused to sit for his official portrait ever since leaving his post as New York governor in 1995. ""I went to electric razors so I would not have to look at myself in the morning," Cuomo tells the Times. Fair enough. Lucky for us, illustrator Thomas Fuchs has made his own portraits of Cuomo, in the syle of some famous artists. My favorite is the Mondrian Mario.
