Hope they keep them on display in the gallery for posterity.
He probably thinks Jackson Pollock paintings are “art”, too.
Even dressed "down", and playing with cats, they were classier than Barry Benghazi and the Mooch.
My vote is for “Barack in the Weeds.”

That never should have established in the first place. US presidents are not supposed to be venerated as if they were kings.

why does Obama have an extra finger on his left hand and a sperm on his left fore head? I assume the artist is trying to tell us that Obama is in some kind of fantasy land. Feel sorry for her being that the dress seems to be the focus point of the picture. Her pose does not match her normal style. Gives her a bored look. Give the artists a D+ in art. Would have giving a F except the chair came out well.
And their pictures don’t belong on our coins.
Bring back Liberty on the obverse.
This was my submission for Obama's official portrait. Funny that I never heard back from them.
Sorry, but clearly TALENT and ABILITY were not nearly as important to the artist selection process, as was PC Check Boxing...
These portraits will be mocked for centuries, and deservingly so.
“invented backdrops with little suggestion of place”
Har! How appropriate for squatting grifters riding the affirmative action train, with no actual personal accomplishments, who stay in other people’s mansions and lounge on other people’s yachts. The lazy, self-absorbed rich liberal left treats them like royalty only to appease white guilt syndrome.
Good one! :-D
Let's just admit it. The paintings are ridiculous and juvenile. Leftist fawning over them are like people fawning over the emperor's invisible clothes. Most people look at these silly things and wonder what in the hell were they thinking? These paintings will be remembered all right...the same way that you remember a scary clown
A barf alert wasn’t really needed. The title alone gave it away.

Correct. This is high school art class level stuff. Not bad for a talented kid but also not worthy of national respect as quality art.
Portraiture should NEVER draw attention to the artist. These are, true to form, ideological statements by the anti America cabal. In time they will be rejected by the curator in favor of something respectable.
On the other hand, portraying these clowns as, well, clowns, is not at all inappropriate.
Is your painting of Michelle the one on the wall on the stairway of Biff’s penthouse in the “alternate present”?
Good work, dude! :-P
This is on par with the Wookie fashion icon nonsense.
None of that matters...... the portrait was painted by a black idealogue
