As I was telling a friend of mine, these are paintings, not portraits. It is ridiculous. These could hang in their home, or anywhere else. But, they will never be portraits, which is what are supposed to be in the display. I do not expect anyone in power to say they are inappropriate. That would racist, even though, it isn’t.
I agree they are not portraits.......it would even be a stretch to call them paintings of the sort which would be done for Presidents and first ladies.
Stunningly the Obaas showed again their bad choices.
