Obama
artist paints black women holding severed white heads
Ex-president celebrates artist who 'challenges our
ideas of power and privilege'
While America
is captivated by the newly released portraits of former President Obama and
first lady Michelle, there’s something curious about Obama’s artist that’s
raising eyebrows: He apparently enjoys painting portraits of black women
holding the severed heads of white people.
Kehinde Wiley, a New York
artist who paints primarily African-American subjects in heroic poses, was
chosen by former President Obama to create a portrait of the 44th
president to be displayed at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
Wiley’s portrait of Obama was unveiled Monday.
