and lo, the portraits came unto us
For a brief moment on a slushy ass Monday, the world (okay, Twitter) believed in beauty and grace again, thanks to the unveiling of the gloriously dazzling Obama portraits. If you’ve seen the portraits but just want a one-stop-shop of an analysis that’ll make your art history professor shiver (AND with a good video clip of the dramatic unveiling) all in one link, say no more fam: the WaPo’s got you with their review: The Obamas’ portraits are not what you’d expect and that’s why they’re great.
You know that feel you get every time you actually go to an art museum and leave with all this clarity and inner peace and think like, hey, I really should get into this art stuff more? This lil Art History 101 lesson have given us that, and we hope they give you that, too.
Like Deez Links? Forward to a museum buddy. Also, Deez Links is off until after President's Day (Presidents' Day??).
