I understand the artists were chosen because of their special way of depicting African-American people. Aren't those just so "special"? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

As a public service for those who may have been momentarily dizzy after viewing the Obama as ponce pic above, note the guns on Mooch. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

I think those paintings are perfect. That’s what you get when you choose participation trophy artists who have never been subjected to criticism. | |||

Terrible painting for a terrible presidency. It seems quite appropriate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Monica Showalter gets right to the point in this column. http://www.americanthinker.com...ficial_portrait.html February 13, 2018 What's wrong with Obama's hand in that official portrait? By Monica Showalter I'm gonna go out on a limb here: I generally like the Obama official portrait. It's an odd style, but it expresses him, and what's more, it reflects the art of his era. It has a background that appears computer-generated as a pattern, with a quite flattering visage of the first black president in a realistic rendition in the foreground. It's a composition that creates the appearance of vector art mixed with a photograph, very modern in the era of cell phones and quite similar to the animation being produced by Hollywood in this era. I can feel the vibe of Playa del Rey and South Central and Melrose Avenue all through this piece. And Obama, of course, spent massive time during his presidency hobnobbing with the likes of Harvey Weinstein and other Hollywood bigs at fundraisers. I like the arresting flower wallpaper and the tieless Obama sitting in the middle of it – because it's so him. It's good just as Peter Hurd's official portrait of Lyndon Baines Johnson was good. (That was a more-flattering-than-he-deserved portrait, done in the most modern representational style of the era, which was in the characteristic renditions of this Western artist, who also did this beautiful piece.) Johnson, inexplicably, hated it and got a poem about it by Richard Wilbur for his idiocy. Obama, on the other hand, loved his image, which says something about him as well, in more ways than one. Here's the problem: it's not drawn very well. The work shows a lack of skill in the basic rendering of an image. The hands are out of proportion in size, even placed in the foreground, overly big. One might be able to write that off as intentional. But the front hand itself has problems in construction, at least if the aim is to create a realistic hand placed against a surreal background... ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

I agree with Monica. Basically it sucks bigtime. I dunno nuffin about art but I know what I like and that ain't it. And the portrait of Mooshe is even worse. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

Can you imagine the blowback from those paintings if they artists had been Caucasian? I would question the sanity of the male artist just based on his suit choice for the reveal.
