Oooops... just saw this post now, after I had posted mine. So I read an article featuring Chris Scillica (CNN) in which he throws around some unbelievable bullshit about the social and political meaning of this 'masterpiece'... LOL. Trying to make believe that there's some reason or depth to this crappy piece of work. Oh, and the 'artist'? Kehinde Wiley also painted this:

Nice, huh? Nothing violently racist about that image... nah.....

 

[Charcat]

Well, at least the artist covered her neck with her monstrous huge hand. LOL

Look at the proportions of the hand that the face is resting on. It's way out of whack for what a human hand would be. That's in addition to the fact that the lady doesn't even look like Michelle.

How many times have some people said that Trump does not present himself in a presidential manner? Those portraits do not look as though they represent anyone of a high position much less presidential.

It's objectively a poorly executed portrait. If it's meant to be abstract, that's different, but I don't believe it is.

I don't believe president/first lady portraits were meant to be abstract in any event. A horrid painting, in my opinion.

Terrible painting.............and now it's out there for everyone to see forever.

Proof that affirmative action stinks on ice.

It's a terrible idea to put a portrait like this out there for people to view down through the ages. It's no place for anything abstract. Years from now it will be seen as an insult, a joke.

I agree, but that's likely how Obama's entire presidency will be viewed.

Wrong, this is it

Yes.
The Obama presidency will be seen as a joke.
A cartoon version of what should have been.

You elected the insult/joke November 8, 2016.

That doesn't look much like him. I can get my nephew to paint a better one. He's been wanting to take up coloring.

I agree they shouldn't be, as a matter of taste. But this one was obviously intended to be. It's not that the artist just couldn't paint a more realistic portrait.

Really?
Show me one painting by that artist that is realistic and is a close representation of the subject. Post one of those right here. I want to see it.

You didn't see her portrait of Barack? Looks just like him.

 

[Jen]

No.
Kehind Wiley did Barack Obama's
Amy Sherald did Michelle's.

Try again.

She didn’t do Barack’s. Someone named Kehinde something or other did.

A portrait is a painting that looks like a photograph. This one of Michelle looks nothing like Michelle OR a photograph. It was not a portrait. Just a flat painting of Michelle that anyone could have done.
