Here is George W. Bush' portrait:

I can only imagine what kind of authoritarian look Trump will select for his when it is his turn.

This is nice.

 

[PInk Tape]

He's amazing and such a talented artist.

If there is any justice in the world, there will be an orange jumpsuit and metal bars.

Google searched Kehinde Wiley I came across a review of his work by the village voice and boy is it racist, what the heck.

[Spaced Harrier]

His stuff is hyper kitsch, but I like it.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Really cool paintings. Something great will come of this.

 

[Aske]

Ouch! The artist must have really hated Hitler to make him sit in such a ball-crushing position.

GWB knows what's up. Give the boys room to breathe. But his watch is too small. It makes his wrist look fat. Should have taken a page from Hitler's book (of being painted, not the bad one) and worn a trenchcoat.

Nice, thanks!

 

[Maebe]

His work is great

I bet Trump is going to get the guy who draws the Jesus writing the Constitution paintings.

The elderly woman who "restored" this fresco would be a better pick

 

[Mac_Lane]

Which black man out there,especially one who IS A painter would not want to singlehandedly paint the official Presidential portrait for the first Black President. Something that will be shown and will outlive us all. This is a very unique choice by Obama.

Here is George W. Bush' portrait:

Isn't this one Bush's ?

 

[depths20XX]

Hahahaha.

Is this from Barry Lyndon? Even better lol

 

[Dyle]

Isn't this one Bush's ?

That's his official White House portrait done while he was in office. The one you quoted is his out of office portrait in the National Portrait Gallery.

 

[biggersmaller]

 

[KingV]

That is dope. I'd love him to paint me.

He should start a GAF portrait thread.

 

[D1renegade]

Wait, so the portrait of Obama in the tan suit isn’t the official one? Was that even real?

Edit: NVM my question was just answered

This is both the best and worst painting of a president.

It's really impressive how much more fitting these portraits would be with a certain other president.

 

[TeamLeftMatch]

I love how true these paintings are if you switch Obama for Trump. Funny how the republicans will scold Obama for anything but Trump who has done the exact things in the paintings (His numerous golf trips and disregard/unknowing the Constitution) they stay silent.

 

[Like the hat?]

Was the artist trying to make Obama look like a badass? Mission accomplished.

 

[Mark Andrew]

I really like this one for some reason.

Amazing how Trump is exactly the president the Right accused Obama of being.

 

[NyMartin90]

I doubt Woodrow Wilson would want to be in that room based on his views on race and neither would Andrew Jackson, regardless of political affiliation to the Democratic Party.
Edit: interesting that this leaves out so many other Democratic Presidents.

 

[Bendeavor]

I really like this one for some reason.

Unless everyone is laughing at Jackson, that's kind of fucked up.

Edit: Didn't notice Wilson. Yeah, that's no good. I don't think Obama would be so thrilled to be with either of them.

I love how these add weight to Obama, where they need to cut 100 lbs off of Trump to make him look human

 

[retroman]

Is that the box art of the sequel to this game?

 

[Doc Holliday]

Meh, I wish Kadir Nelson would have been picked.

 

[Azure Dream]

Hey, they have one of his works at a local museum. GF really likes it. It's pretty cool in person.

 

[KingV]

I’m curious what he will come up with.

I read a little bit about him and was surprised about a few things

1) he doesn’t paint the backgrounds?! I’m just sort of surprised that this flies for the “buying art” crowd. Like it’s a Kehinde Wiley (and some guy that he paid to finish it). I’m guessing this must be common, but I’m curious how common it is.

2) I wonder if Obama’s portrait will have a lot of sperm on it. This seems to be a running theme

3) I sort of expect that the Obama portrait will be more traditional, but I hope it isn’t.

Isn't this one Bush's ?

By tradition, two portraits are done of each the president and first lady — one to hang in the White House and the other in the National Portrait Gallery.

So the standing one is in the White House for Bush and the sitting one is part of the National Portrait Gallery. It is a good tradition. Have to see how this portrait of Obama turns out. Though it sucks Donald J. Trump will be immortalized in a similar fashion.
