Obama Portrait Artist Kehinde Wiley Once Painted Black Women Decapitating White Women
The Wrap ^ | 02/12/2018 | Jon Levine

Posted on 02/13/2018 1:59:47 AM PST by vikingrinn

“In Wiley’s rendering, Judith is depicted as a black woman and Holofernes as a white woman.”

“Fans of the Obama portrait will recognize Wiley’s photo-realistic human figures, distinct colors and prominent use of floral backgrounds.”

“Wiley translates this image of a courageous, powerful woman into a contemporary version that resonates with fury and righteousness.”

No, no, it’s okay see, because racist fruitcakes can’t be racist.

Just another indication of that “class” the media told us about...

“That face”. It has nothing to do with power. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Oh, and that ‘art’ is some sorry schlock for reasons to numerous to cover. The technical incompetence is staggering.

Looked more like genocidal psychopathy.

The women should be painted GREEN because they are GREEN with ENVY.

Obvious use of photo projection, probably indicates poor draftsmanship.

Incompetent composition, none whatsoever, really.

Discordant, busy field which distracts from main subject.

Crass use of colors with zero sense of subtlety.

Flat, two dimensional field which conflicts with the attempted realism of objects.

Good propaganda art is competently executed. A comparison with Soviet Realism for instance shows this tat to be the primitive - and ironically appropriate - exercise that it is.

Bammy chose him because they both hate WHITES! This country was ruled by a fraud for 8 years, and most people still have their heads up their a$$es thinking that he was a great president!

Obama did more damage to our country than was apparent when he left office.

These portraits perfectly memorialize Obama’s presidency. They’re aesthetically ugly, technically defective and created by a talent-less black racist who harbors dreams of white genocide.

Photo-realistic? You have be blanking kidding me. That painting looks nothing like her.

And the one of Barack Hussein looks like something from Mad Magazine, pasted onto a page from National Geographic.

So I guess, besides being the “right” skin color, the other resume entry the Obamas required is that the artist is a racist. But, of course, in demanding a painter who’s black, THEY’RE racists, too. But white people aren’t allowed to say that, in Liberal-think, because that makes us racists.

Just to be clear. The bulk of black libs hate whites because they cannot be white. Obama did not know his father at all, but chose to write a book about him instead of the mother who raised him. He undoubtedly was happy with the “whiteness” she provided, but hated her anyway because he saw her as pure. Of course I don’t agree with any of this thinking, but simple analysis of behavior proves that blacks in general, and the Obamas specifically, project their self-hate onto whites. Or does anyone think that Obama really didn’t know that the man who painted his portrait also painting black women decapitating his mother?
