HILARIOUS.

You get what you pay for. They'd rather hire socially progesssive artists than talented artists.

Seems an appropriate metaphor for how the Obamas spent 8 years presenting a facade hiding who they really were.

I think she is wearing a stage curtain in the painting.

1) It looks nothing like Moochelle.
2) It is flat, with no shading, light, depth etc.
3) It wouldn't pass a 9th grade art class.
4) She appears to be wearing a tarp of some sort.

5) the udder is not showing, anyone who knows anything about this knows a view of the udder is critical. It's like a photo of a bull without the balls.

You are all racists for criticizing a black woman's interpretation of another black woman.

At least, I'm assuming this without looking up Amy Sherald.

Like president Ritz, I see most of you have no class. You wouldn't know good art, if it bit you in the ass. 03-snooty

It's a fine painting, just doesn't look like Michelle Obama. At least the one of Barack looks like him.

I wouldn't mind her interpretation if it looked anything like Michelle Obama. It's far enough removed for what she really looks like that if a group of people were shown this portrait and had no knowledge of who the subject was supposed to be - I'm betting they wouldn't say "Oh, that's Michelle Obama......

That's nothing. Have them read a copy of Obama's last state of the union address but tell them it's Trump's and they'd all hate it.

It just does not look like like her. Maybe this was done from a photograph taken decades ago or something. It looks nothing like the First Lady we had.

I saw this and thought it was a joke.

That's awful.

Barack's is good except it makes him look older.

I'm betting you're going to be pretty good at that.
