“Since the unveiling of these two portraits of the Obamas, the Portrait Gallery has experienced a record number of visitors, not only to view these works in person, but to be part of the communal experience of a particular moment in time,” Kim Sajet, director of the Washington gallery, said in a statement. “This tour is an opportunity for audiences in different parts of the country to witness how portraiture can engage people in the beauty of dialogue and shared experience.
Barack Obama’s portrait includes green vines and bright flowers surrounding the 44th president. Chrysanthemums, which are the official flower of Chicago, dot the painting. The background also includes jasmine from Hawaii, where Obama was born, and African blue lilies, which represent the birthplace of Obama’s father: Kenya.
After leaving Chicago, the portraits will travel to the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

Popular portraits of Barack, Michelle Obama to leave D.C. for year-long tour in 2021The popular portraits of Barack and Michelle Obama are temporarily leaving the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., for a five-city tour. 100 years from now when they are hanging along with all the other Presidential Portraits they will be a laughing stock. They may be fine for personal portraits (not my taste but that's what art is all about) but as their formal WH portraits they are embarrassing. Throw them away ! They are trash anyway 😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯

Opinion | Why Obama Won and 2020’s Black Candidates Couldn’tFrom WSJopinion: Unlike Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, Barack Obama didn’t campaign on racial grievances.

Let's see.. -birtherism -allegations of secretly being a Muslim -allegations of Michelle being a man -rise of the Tea Party Etc All these op-eds are pure garbage. opinion jasonrileywsj The guy can only countbto 1? Or did he sleep for 7 years? opinion jasonrileywsj There’s a much shorter answer than yours though: African Americans supported Obama in the primary. But They didn’t support Harris or Booker. They mostly supported Biden instead (though Bernie is cutting into that support at a very rapid clip, Harris and Booker couldn’t)
