Behold - Michelle Obama's Official Portrait |
2018-02-12 |
Have at it, gang! [DailyCaller] An official portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama was unveiled at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery Monday morning. The painting was done by Baltimore artist Amy Sherald, who is known for her social justice painting style. There's a 'social justice painting style'? I learn something new every day! "Let’s just start by saying, ’Wow,’ again. Let me just take a minute. It’s amazing. Wow," Obama said after the portrait was unveiled. The moment was met with a gasp and applause. "Wow" as in 'cool' or "wow" as in 'what the fuck is this shit'? You make the call! |

#6 It appears that both model and artist wore dresses by the same designer to the reveal, but only one of them has an eye for what she looks good in. Honestly, the face in the portrait does not look to me like Mrs. Obama. The gown is dramatic, though. |

#3 social justice painting style? Fascist Chic? Like the posters we still see in places like Cuba and North Korea? |
