Four Norman Rockwell works featured in the White House have been taken down and replaced with photos of President Joe Biden, according to Politico.

Politico first reported the paintings were taken down on Tuesday, writing two individuals familiar with the matter said members of the Rockwell family had requested the art be returned to them. Their request was granted last year. A person familiar with the matter said the paintings had been replaced with "several jumbo photos of Biden."

Sold off to highest bidder...?

Hope the family got the originals back...

I think the photo of Hunter and his crack pipe would be appropriate.

Rockwell photos are recognized universally as Americana to
the max. Small wonder... just the wrong image for today’s
Leftists.

I hope so too.
This “administration” does not deserve things of beauty, grace or class.

He’s gotta keep reminding himself that he’s the president

[al_c]

Probably so the idiot in chief doesn’t forget who he is.

[MortMan]

A good question, and worth asking.

[GnuThere]

No kidding, maybe we’re moving into Ceausescu territory.
Would not mind the same results.

“White House aide: “That’s you Mr President”

Almost like Admiral Benson in Hot Shots!

[dinodino]

FJB...seriously.

Big Brother is watching you. Only a matter of time until these jumbo photographs are on every street corner and a number of billboards throughout Amerika.

I remember when Clinton was president and he invited Charles Schultz to the WH. Good old Charlie declined to attend. Note , Charles was dying at the time. Clinton wanted to use him for PR.

Exactly. Strictly Third World.

Did they request the painting be returned BEFORE they were taken down or after?

From the article:

"Politico first reported the paintings were taken down on, writing two individuals familiar with the matter said members of the Rockwell family had requested the art be returned to them. Their request was granted last year."

At the rate things move in D.C. the request probably started during the Trump years.

He has to put up portraits of himself, because the mirrors can’t reflect his image.

replaced with "several jumbo photos of Biden."

They did that in Jerry Nadler's office with Jerry's pix. Guy ordered jumbo photos and other one said "Jumbo as opposed to what?"

One of Nadler with his arm around Stacey Abrams' shoulder has a center split and a sign "photo continued on other side of hall door."

...or the beginning of the Biden administration.

They could have a dump truck of cash deliver at the WH doors and the Establishmedia would hide it.
