The open-coffin photographs of the mutilated body of Emmett Till, the teenager who was lynched by two white men in Mississippi in 1955, served as a catalyst for the civil rights movement and have remained an open wound in American society since they were first published in Jet magazine and The Chicago Defender at the urging of Till’s mother.
The images’ continuing power, more than 60 years later, to speak about race and violence is being demonstrated once again in protests that have arisen online and at the newly opened Whitney Biennial over the decision of a white artist, Dana Schutz, to make a painting based on the photographs.

Yawn. The problems of NYC billionaires and their spouses. Ho hum. Oh, look at the time. Gotta go.
Then, if no white artist had thought this was historically significant enough to paint, there would be protests about all the white artists being racist or whatever. It is a no-win deal. The leftists have the art of protest down pat; I’ll give them credit for that.
You should have went the Rachel Dolozel route, Dana.
Well why is anyone protesting?
Is someone actually offended by a painting based on a photograph taken with permission of his mother because it was a horrid act of brutality?
His mistake was being White. He’s automatically evil for being White.
White artist? Seriously? That must be her genre; you have cubists, abstract art, impressionism, and so on. Good ol' Dana chose instead to be a white artist.
Wonder if she ever will have a blue period...

Remember the album cover she did for the Beatles?
These Leftists ought to be locked in a room with nothing but a TV that plays Dean Martin Roasts and a table stacked with R Crumb comics.
White artist... she must have done the album cover for the Beatles’ “White Album”.
They said Trayvon was this innocent angel doing absolutely nothing and that was wrong.
same thing with the gentle giant, suuuuch a saint..!! turned out he just robbed the place.
I want to know what Emmett Till *really* did because I don’t believe he got killed, simply for making a whistling noise.
sorry there’s a limit.
Not if she remembers her MIDOL.
Back then that, or even being somewhere after sunset could get a black set upon. But it would be good to know if there were other circumstances that have been buried in the retelling.

Things were pretty terrible then in certain Dixiecrat precincts.
No matter what he did or did not do, who beats a child to death and then hides the body? What could he possibly have done to deserve that?
Yo, I'm really happy for her, I'mma let you finish, but Kazimir Malevich had one of the best white paintings of all time. One of the best white paintings of all time!

See post 17.
Looks more like she went the screech route.
She looks a little bit like a guy I once dated...a musician. And that makes me feel a little icky.
