So the painting’s a fake, the Obozos are fakes - looks like a perfect fit.

I don’t understand anybody that would call that art.

White House art consultant Shepard Fairey, however, saw nothing wrong with keeping the painting.

I may be rich. My wife saved a whole drawer full of pictures like that my two sons did in elementary school.

Hey that thing is a fraud. I've got the original hanging on my refrigerator! It's from my grandkid's nursery school.
To: kristinn; Beelzebubba
Well, whodah thunk it? An artsy cultured educated Freeper?
Hats off to you, beelzebubba. Now go cling on to your guns and Bible. You’re disturbin’ your betters.

Look at the purple blob, the painter couldn’t even stay inside the lines!! Dadaism at its best.
To: kristinn; TChris
Here's an overlay with the original rotated posted by TChris in the other thread in case anyone missed it.

Close enough to be plagiarism even in most public high schools.

Excellent!
Now I wonder if it’s common practice to borrow paintings from museums to decorate the WH. I’ve not heard of this being done by presidents in the past.

Um. was this a black artist by any chance? A feminist icon for some reason?
There has to be a reason they chose it. Just diss the original, maybe?

the decision not to put it there was made only because its dimensions did not work in the space in which it was to hang.
I'd be curious to know the dimensions of the painting and the dimensions of its replacement.

I think this masterpeice, the original, is just a color test for Matisse.
If we could talk to the dead... lol.. “Masterpeice? Your talking about my color palette test!”

Semonti Stephens, the deputy press secretary for Mrs. Obama, said that the painting had been intended to go in the first ladys office and that the the decision not to put it there was made only because its dimensions did not work in the space in which it was to hang.
Yeah. The one of 45 they send back.

To: kristinn
the work takes a Matisse collage and, as Holland Cotter wrote in The New York Times, praising the selection, shifts the pieces around
Nothing “shifted”. The identical composition was rotated 90 degrees.
