    She inspires me. I haven't picked up even a sketch pad in ages but I'm facing health issues and her strength gives me hope. And I love the portrait!👍💝

    Yes, she is a talented artist; she painted my niece’s portrait, which is also displayed in this video (The young lady in the orange background, with the hat and shorts on)

    Michelle O bama is a strong muscular angry black woman with weight lifting arms and always with a scorn on her face . Who is that light grey woman with a wig and arms like an octupus? I don't know.

    At first I didn't think much of Michelle Obama's portrait. However, after I looked at a higher resolution picture of it by itself I think it's fantastic! Good likeness, good style

      And everyone else knows it and that's why they're saying it's "exquisite" and has a "likeness" bc they know it doesn't and have to protect their ego that nothing can suck on their end.. Nothing can be funny for the other side of the politics to pick at lol.

    It’s like a really bad Gustav Klimt knock off. The composition is horrible. What’s the message that she’s trying to convey? That she wants to go back to the era of post-WWl German modern art… or that she’s never had an original thought in her head? Check and check. Bad taste on display… the fact that she’s been made to look more white is icing on the bad art cake.

  • @lklklkok
    @lklklkok 4 роки тому +3

    There is something very human about her paintings, I think she manages to capture a humble and graceful sense of emotions from her subjects. I'm by no means an art expert and I am a white woman, yet I find something relatable about her art.

  • @aldemardelapuy5502

  • @DebUSA
    @DebUSA 6 років тому +15

    Yes, Amy Sherald is a talented artist; but if I saw this portrait alone or among portraits of various other black females, I would never have guessed this was supposed to be Michelle Robinson Obama. The portrait of Barack Hussein Obama II by artist Kehinde Wiley does look like him, but all the background greenery makes me think he's sitting in poison sumac, oak or ivy.

    Both pictures are flat and lifeless. As for Michelle O's that is not a first lady portrait. That is a picture of someone that they think is doing a Vogue cover shoot. I have seen high school students do better in art class. They at least try to shade and put depth into their work.
