Barack Obama is taking on health care, financial regulation, torture and environmental policy. He’s also revamping the White House art collection.
The Obamas are sending ripples through the art world as they put the call out to museums, galleries and private collectors that they’d like to borrow modern art by African-American, Asian, Hispanic and female artists for the White House. In a sharp departure from the 19th-century still lifes, pastorals and portraits that dominate the White House’s public rooms, they are choosing bold, abstract art works.

Hey Barry - NO graffiti on OUR walls nor ‘thug’ like symbols.
I like Uncle Remus from Disney better.
I was wondering how long they would take to start ainting the walls bright pink and orange. *rolleyes* After seeing Mr.s Obama’s wordrobe choices I can only imagine what her taste in art is like.
Re: #72: Michelle must be upset that her husband is shaking hands with Azorean White Trash like Lula, even if, self-hating cracker that he is, blamed white people for the world’s problems.
That painting is brilliant!
Your wife is a real artist. Impressive.
Who is the painting of that your wife did?
ROFL!
Beautiful!
He hates white men.
Yea .no sh*t
You can take the man out of the ghetto but you can take the ghetto out of the man .Tasteless low life street garbage he is.
Probably Obama’s uncle. From what I can remember he is an African war veteran from Kenya. She liked the picture, so she decided to turn it into an oil painting.
Here are photos I’ve taken of some of her work (the first pic is her w/ her violin). She’s got some really cool stuff on tap to paint this summer. We’re finally starting to get her working from original photos.

LOL!
She is very talented. I like her choice of what to paint as well.
It looks too much like the photos she paints from. She probably project the photos on to her canvas and copies them exactly. I find that boring.
I find your inept judgment of her procedure to be boring. You may find it hard to believe, but some people have a natural gift to see and replicate life exactly as they see it. That’s how she paints, and she finds the human figure and facial expressions to be most interesting.
Since you are such a wonderful critic, I’d like to see your artwork.
Look at some of her other work found below, and let me know how she projects and copies her artwork.

I am an artist and sorry if I offended you but I see too much of the photographic stuff. I find it boring even when my friends do it and some of them do.
Did your wife really do that?
It’s fantastic!
