Obama humiliated on stage at National Portrait Gallery!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 12, 2018 - The National Portrait Gallery has unveiled portraits of former illegitimate President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama - and they were humiliating.
The portraits were unveiled to the public Monday at the gallery, which is part of the Smithsonian group of museums. Social media erupted in response, pointing out the poor quality of the work and the strange presentation.
Obama was front and center during the disaster. The gallery has a complete collection of presidential portraits. A second and different set of portraits of the former first couple will eventually hang in the White House.
Always a politician, Obama praised Baltimore-based artist Amy Sherald “for so spectacularly capturing the grace and beauty and intelligence and charm and hotness of the woman I love.” However, critics weren’t so diplomatic.
Many Twitter users even shared a laugh over Barack sitting in the bushes. Other accounts on social media were in an all-out-war over these portraits - confused as to whether they actually represented the subjects well enough.
Barack’s portrait was painted by Kehinde Wiley - an artist best known for his vibrant, large-scale paintings of black people. “It features a seven-foot portrait sitting in a field of flowers, including chrysanthemums, the official flower of Chicago; jasmine, a nod to Obama’s childhood in Hawaii; and African blue lilies to symbolize Obama’s late father who was from Kenya,” reports Fox News.
The portraits will be officially installed and available for public viewing starting on Feb. 13.
