I assumed (without reading the article) that was used as an example of what was removed.
We agree completely. I was in drawing class with one of those untalented people. Her work was so bad everyone was terrified that they might be asked to critique it. Then one day she announced “I have found my calling, I am an abstract painter”. She threw some paint at the canvas and won a ribbon in the next student show. Oh well!
My favorite is Zeichnung. It reminds me of Japanese Shodo calligraphy.
I had to Google that one. Looks very similar to Anime. Is it?
No, I believe he has this painting over his bed...

"One of the edgier pieces on loan to the Obamas is a 1992 work by Glenn Ligon, Black Like Me #2, a text-based painting greatly informed by the artists experience as an African-American gay man living in the United States."
"...artists experience as an African-American gay man living in the United States."
Hmmm ... but no. Catlin is one of the artists the Obama's wanted. See this Washington Post article or this list.
I thought maybe the Telegraph mistakenly thought George Catlin was one of the Native American artists the Obamas wanted, rather than a White painter who depicted Indians, because there's nothing new about Catlin in the White House. See Laura Bush's remarks here.
Nice - LOL
If her taste in interior decor is anything like her wardrobe.....no class.
Did your kid paint that?

(Sarah as Catwoman -- hmmmm!)
You read my mind, I spent 20 years in and out of my childrens elementary school, alot of that “art” looks like it came outta Mrs.Hittle’s 3rd grade classroom.
Hitlery’s self-portrait?
what a conceded bit*h!
Reputedly? I know it's a British paper but sheesh....
I can’t wait for Obama’s term to be up. We need someone back in the White House that has some class. My 5 yr old grandchild paints better pictures than that trash he’s hanging on the walls.
They’re gonna need a D-9 Cat and a steam cleaner to douche out the place once we rid ourselves of them...
Thinking the same thing. Sometimes you have to tear buildings down to get the stench out.
