Kehinde’s artistry is incredibly amazing! His signature is all over this!! This is my first time coming to know about Amy thru First Lady’s portrait. I like the simplicity of hers.
Cindy Anniston you Pale Face Devil you may have enslaved my Ancestors for 246 years but we overcame that and we are multiply in massive numbers now but you are dying out daily do to Herion Crystal Meth ,Opioid pills and Fentanyl it's so bad in West Virginia and Ohio that the First responders are running out Narcan to save lives also there are cities in Ohio that are asking the State for extra funding to provide Outdoor Refrigerated Morgues to store the overflowing bodies because the local funeral homes are running out of space, also you have a -1.3 Low Brithrate in America you can't even figure out a way to sustain your population with babies Sun Cancer, Suicide deaths , Bestiality, Child molesting,Child Porn Rapes, Sexual assaults, DUI manslaughters,is at a all times high in your community you people are Pathetic.
Kehinde Wiley should have done both portraits, he captured the essence and significance of Obama's presidency . He would have delivered the same theme for Michelle.
Yes, the Artist seems to have preferred the pop stylistic technique, rather than facial likeness. I would’ve portrayed Michelle’s lovely face in more realistic detail to contrast the stylist method used in portraying her outfit.
Alicia Wilson, Yes, Michelle's portrait, though as beautiful as she is, actually doesn't look much like her. It looked more like a younger version of herself. I like her portrait but it just didn't capture her as I thought it would. Barack's portrait, on the other hand, captures his likeness pretty well. I like both portraits in any regard and I'm proud and happy for Barack and Michelle.
I’m a grown lady and I’m taken aback just as much as my younger counterparts would be. How wonderful to see a picture that looks like me not so much in the physical sense, but the literal. A proud moment from Black people in my opinion.
They’re is all kinds of art, contemporary, impressionist, I’m no art geek or anything. I just think The artist painted Mrs. Obama through how she viewed her, maybe not so much as to how she actually looks. You know how people do the caricatures, something like that. Any art people out there can help my explanation, I whatever I’m just pleased to see them being honored at all. Haven’t seen his yet.
Now I agree with a fellow comment-or in that what’s with all the greenery🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 see that shit they’re is cheesy as fuck. Now Im mad🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣for real that shot just makes a joke of the whole ceremony. Awwwwwww we miss you to President Obama, bless your heart. But you’re wife’s portrait is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sorry...but those are some lame portraits. The one of Michelle doesnt even look like her. And what is Obama sitting in???? A wall of ivy??? Looks like bad photoshop at best. Not trying to offend..but yall see what I see....
Art is always up to be interpreted by the viewer in however they see it. Some background on the pieces “Kehinde Wiley has set Mr. Obama against greenery, with flowers that have symbolic meaning: African blue lilies for Kenya, his father’s birthplace; jasmine for Hawaii, where Mr. Obama was born; chrysanthemums, the official flower of Chicago, for the city where his political career began”. I can edit the comment once I find some background for First Lady’s. “Amy Sherald’s signature style, which renders skin tones in shades of gray..elegant portraits typically depict Black sitters rendered in the style of flat modernism. but Sherald’s composition makes a statement about history. Michelle’s gown naturally composes the base of a triangle, her head its peak. The geometric composition isn’t particularly unusual.. Sherald’s painting nods towards posterity, ensuring that the signification of the sitter will be remembered; long after Michelle Obama is gone the painting will still insist on her significance.”
Tomax, Yes we see what you see but you must learn to read portraits...Obama is sitting in intellectual majesty hence the ivy...Get it, #IvyLeagueScholar? This is a portrait, not a selfie and certainly not photoshopped.
Michelle's picture is a mess...the only thing captured of Michelle's were the nice-toned shoulders that Michelle has.....Michelle's picture looks like Michelle of Destinys Child.....deep down inside, I don't believe Michelle is pleased with her painting. The artist looks like she may have been trying to be too unique with painting the picture; she tried to be a little too creative with the brush. They should have had the same painter (the one that did Barack's) do both paintings. That painter did an excellent job with Barack's painting.
Charles Spangler to remind closed minded folks that a black man with intelligence and family values and a black woman with intelligence and grace were able to represent the country in a way that we can be appreciative of. This is especially needed at a time when there is so much scandal and chaos in the current Trump administration.Bigotry and hate is not the new normal regardless of what some uninformed and closed minded people may think. Wishing the Obama's much happiness and success in all of their future endeavors. Black love personified. How awesome.
This is Awesome! President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, you are so Missed!
Incredible
Simply...the Obamas are the best.
SANDY MILLER Yes

Yvonne Plummer Exactly!
WOW. BEAUTIFUL.
I miss them Both so much 😢😢😢😢
It may be just me but Michelle portrait likeness is off👀. President Obama portrait is stunning.
Yes, the Artist seems to have preferred the pop stylistic technique, rather than facial likeness. I would’ve portrayed Michelle’s lovely face in more realistic detail to contrast the stylist method used in portraying her outfit.
Thank you, Roland Martin...this was AWESOME!
I like his portrait ...hers is different
Alicia Wilson, Yes, Michelle's portrait, though as beautiful as she is, actually doesn't look much like her. It looked more like a younger version of herself. I like her portrait but it just didn't capture her as I thought it would. Barack's portrait, on the other hand, captures his likeness pretty well.

I'd like to know who did Michelle Obama's make-up. It is flawless and makes her look as stunning and radiant as ever.
I love both of them
Jamaica17 My POTUS and FLOTUS until further notice
I love Mr and Mrs Obama👑👑and Ro Ro to👑💜
The Clown who is Pretending to run things now his portrait should be of a Trash Can. I'd be more than happy to draw it. 👍
Tommy Williams I said I'll bet he's at the drawing board now trying to outdo America's forever best presidential couple.
♡
Michelle looks So damn GOOD I want her now 😍 😩 😫 😭 ❤ 😢
YUK!!! Quit playin’ with these comments. Those portraits do not do them justice!!
Now I agree with a fellow comment-or in that what’s with all the greenery🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 see that shit they’re is cheesy as fuck. Now Im mad🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣for real that shot just makes a joke of the whole ceremony. Awwwwwww we miss you to President Obama, bless your heart. But you’re wife’s portrait is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
better portraits than the white house one by far.
So will Melania's portrait be in the nude?
marshall williams 😂😂😂

Who need a due over/start over you did not quite hit the mark on either Portrait..

Tomax Please, be positive! The Portraits are simply Amazing!
Tomax one must have an understanding of art to really get it but your opinion is respected cause your delivery was as such. To each his own.
I C U Taffy B Preach him, girl! He is full of it!
HOW DOSE A COUNTRY GO FROM THIS TO TRUMP?
The portraits do not represent the caring people that we know...No smiles....smh..Very disappointed !!!
Michelle's picture is a mess...the only thing captured of Michelle's were the nice-toned shoulders that Michelle has.....Michelle's picture looks like Michelle of Destinys Child.....deep down inside, I don't believe Michelle is pleased with her painting.

Why does this country need a portrait of Barack Hussein and MICHAEL?
Charles Spangler Triggered
jacqueline russell Nice shade of *bitch* you're wearing
I can see why you're a hater
