Affirmative action in the art world.
Nice urinal targets.
**“I tried to negotiate less gray hair and Kehinde’s artistic integrity would not allow (him) to do what I asked,” Obama joked, according to CNN. “I tried to negotiate smaller ears. Struck out on that as well.”**
Ohhhhhhhhhh...he’s so self-deprecating...........{{{{swoon}}}
The picture seems just plain weird until one stops to think that the subject of the art and the artist seem to be bowing to the norms of what Islam thinks about representations of humans.
Note that his hand has on its outer side either an extra pinky or a thumb on the wrong side of this hand’s set of fingers. Weird, but that startling hand serves a purpose. It turns image from a real human into something on closer inspection one sees is not human, thereby meeting the Islamic law and preference of not opening opening oneself up to human representation in art.
Obama’s advisors and he himself have surrounded him with a hale of vines and greenery, as is the essence of Islamic art’s taste for the depiction of crawling vines, plants as the main, if not exclusive theme of art.
Obama body, in stark contrast to other presidential portraits, does not stand, just as so so many immigrant Muslims and kneeling football players show their disdain for America by refusing to stand for the flag and the national anthem. Instead he slouches and his legs apart. There are spoofs already out there superimposing a white bathroom commode with flusher for this chair, this because of the every so familiar sitting posture he has struck here.
He could not decline a presidential portrait for the portrait gallery, so he decided to create a scene that mocks the U.S. and the entire non-Islamic world.
This is like the icing on the Obama administration cake. It very well depicts who they are. Anti-Obama people could not have painted a better Presidential portrait set. This defines them perfectly. Comic book art.
