NY-based artist Elizabeth Peyton unveiled her artwork depicting Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha listening to Barack Obama’s speech during the Democratic National Convention.
The artwork’s similarities to the famous Coretta Scott King and Bernice King photo are not very complimentary.
The painting’s hidden meaning should be obvious. Why is Michelle scowling? And let me not even begin on Sasha’s complexion, which is a few shades darker than she appears in real life. This is art and I am supposed to be open minded to it.
The painting also appears in this month’s W magazine
