Kehinde Wiley’s Official Portrait of Obama, by hungry on Feb 12, 2018 22:19:40 GMT 1, Anyone see the unveiled official portrait of Obama today by Kehinde Wiley? Absolutely spectacular. Also got the chance to see his exhibits in Brooklyn and in Seattle in the past (which were amazing in person).

That was his step dad's last name and he was called Barry growing up. He decided to stop the usage of his nickname in college, I think, which the birthers just ran away with it and, and one of 'em somehow became president.

Apologies, I meant the Soetoro photoshopped columbia university ID saying he was a foreign student...
^^ that stupidity.

I just want to point out that this is the official portrait for the Smithsonian, NOT the White House. I also got confused earlier. The one he'll have in the White House will be different. The ones of past presidents shown in that IG photo are the White House ones. If you check out the Smithsonian portraits of those presidents, they all are vastly stylized by relevant artists of that time (Ex. Elaine De Kooning's official Smithsonian portrait of JFK).

I was also going to post this.
That Instagram post is what they call ‘fake news’.

There are very few works as impressive as seeing a Close from far way and then walking up to it.
