Barack Obama and Michelle Obama visited the National Gallery of Art on April 28. The former president and first lady took in some of James Van Der Zee’s portraits from Harlem in the 1920s and ’30s and also visited the “Afro-Atlantic Histories” exhibit that’s on now.
The Obamas had a private visit. They were shown around by the National Gallery’s director, Kaywin Feldman. Curator Diane Waggoner accompanied them on their tour of the Van Der Zee photographs, and curators Steven Nelson, Kanitra Fletcher, and Molly Donovan were with them when they viewed “Afro-Atlantic Histories.” The former first couple ended their tour at Alma Thomas’s “March on Washington,” a 1964 painting in which the DC artist depicted her experience at that historic event.(snip)
In a statement, Michelle Obama said, “We love seeing work by artists of color, and we hope museums across our country continue to accept and display art like this for generations to come.”

You didn't think they would sully their eyes looking at anything done by a white artist, did you?
Big Mike is looking really dumpy - even for him!
Does this painting make my butt look fat?
Were they frisked on the way out? I bet they shop lifted something. They’ve been free loaders their whole lives.
Who cares what these racist, hateful grifters do? Seriously!
Those are some big feet on that Wookie.
Is Big Mike wearing it’s shoplifting jacket? In case they need to bring home some décor?
Valjar gave them some time off from their “Destroy America” project?
Those pix are fertile meme ground.
So classy. I mean look at that! Class!
How much time did they spend at the Hunter Biden crayon and sidewalk chalk exhibit?
All that for little paintings.
All this for a damn picture.
Imagine being so racist you’re only interested in artists of your own race. Farrakhan grade hatred.
Two giant stains and embarassments in this republic’s history. The fact that these grifters are celebrated bodes poorly for our nation.
I don’t like either Barack or his ‘Bride’, but any time I go into an Art Museum, the last thing I want is somebody following me from exhibit room to exhibit room, snapping silly pictures. They are lucky Michelle didn’t give them a piece of her mind! //

Remember, there are probably stolen paintings under all that clothing.
