Even Obama's Art Is Fake

Absolutely everything about the Moonbat Messiah is a sham — even the lousy modern art in his ballyhooed collection. It includes a piece of junk entitled "The Watusi," by one Alma Thomas:
The Tate Gallery has a piece called "The Snail," created by Henri Matisse back in the 1950s:

Rotate "Watusi" 90° to the right, change the colors, and you have the same uninspired artwork. You'd have to ask an expert like Joke Biden, but I believe this qualifies as plagiarism.

But of course, Matisse was just some dead white male, not a "longtime Washington resident who is an African-American painter."

It really is quite shameless, I suppose now intellectual property and copyright are racist. :(

The only way to get any closer to the original would be if you were trying to create a forgery.

Shades of Ward Churchill.  These people are shameless fakes, so the fake, plagiarized art fits them perfectly.

Now Alma Thomas Goes Under the Bus

A painting by the artist Alma W. Thomas, which had been selected to go on Michelle Obama's wall in her East Wing office, will no longer be mounted.

"The reason why it was moved was because it didn't fit the space right," Semonti Stephens, the first lady's deputy press secretary, said of "Watusi (Hard Edge)," which had been borrowed from the Hirshhorn Museum.

Stephens noted that the Obamas still "have a piece of [Thomas's] work in the residence. So they appreciate the artist's work." A Thomas artwork titled "Sky Light," also on loan from the Hirshhorn, hangs in the family's private quarters.

Some conservative Web sites, including http://Freerepublic.com, have accused Thomas of plagiarizing the work "The Snail" by the French artist Henri Matisse. The White House denied that it was removing Thomas's piece because of those accusations. ...

That's not plagiarism, that's just flattery. :whatever:

Ugly painting BTW. To each his own...

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
