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.

Afrinazi pukes ... I guess AMERICAN artists aren't good enough for these jerks?

[tioga]

the White House should be about OUR history......not Asian or African......or anything else. much as obama might not want a hallway of dead white men BUT they were our presidents. the scenery painted is our scenery.....our land of the free......has he taken the American flags down yet?

[ElayneJ]

Is it common practice to send out requests to galleries and museums like this? Seems like they could purchase some pieces.

Nicolas De Stael
Nicolas de Staël, (5 January 1914 – 16 March 1955) was a painter known for his use of a thick impasto and his highly abstract landscapes. He also worked with collage, illustration and textiles. In the 1930s, he traveled throughout Europe, lived in Paris (1934) and in Morocco. In 1941, he moved to Nice where he met Jean Arp, Sonia Delaunay and Robert Delaunay. These artists would inspire his first abstract paintings, or “Compositions”. In 1943, (during the Nazi occupation) de Staël returned to Paris. There he met Braque, and a 1945 exposition brought him critical fame. In 1948 in Paris he began a long friendship with German artist Johnny Friedlaender. He had considerable success in the United States and England in the early 1950s, but by 1953, de Staël’s depression led him to seek isolation in the south of France (eventually in Antibes), and he committed suicide in 1955.

Money can’t buy taste, and the Obambis are “The Chicago Hillbillies go to Washington.”

I’m almost at my limit, listening to the BBC today via shortwave, talking about what’s coming in the US sealed it.

On the one hand, the new stuff probably sticks out like a sore thumb in the traditional styled White House rooms.

On the other, my folks have an AA friend who is a talented artist and a whole lot more genteel than the Obamas. It would be cool if some of her work was displayed at the WH.

[KarlInOhio]

How about René Magritte's lesser know work:

Ce n'est pas un président!

(I tried to make a "HOPE"-style poster, but the poster creation page wouldn't take the whole phrase.)

I'm surprised Arab/Islamic artists aren't included.

Hope they know it’s only temporary.
