This is really going to "heat" some things up.

Bad picture of him...they aged him ALOT.

 

[fivepointstar]

pretty accurate imo

His work is thought provoking and usually pretty deep. You could spend days and still not extract all of the symbolism.

I do see the immediate hit you over the head message. I am missing the power of subtlety. While I am likely very close to the painter philosophically, I tend to agree with the critic. It just looks to me like the cover of the Time or Newsweek. But then, no one has ever saught me out for my expert interpretation of art.

Should have shown W handing it to him.

they wouldnt like my teleprompter pledge of allegiance piece....

Check out his Facebook page. He's done a couple paintings of Obama. Seems to hit the target...

 

[knightofcydonia]

Check out his Facebook page. He's done many paintings of Obama. Most are spot on.

none of bush?

It's how he's going to look at the end of his second term.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

For the record, I'm not particularly impressed with this painting. It does look like a Newsweek cover, doesn't it? And not even one of the more artistic ones.

 

[BlueHeeler]

It looks like a painting to get attention for attention sake.

His other painting "the forgotten man" had a much more articulate statement.

I'm gonna guess he's a right winger....

 

[knightofcydonia]

I'm gonna guess he's a right winger....

a more fitting depiction would be one of the very early president lighting it with a match and the rest of the presidents throwing fuel on top..because they have all eroded the damn thing. bush and obama just blatantly are telling you and showing you they are doing it and laughing at you at the same time.

Maybe...but it's an attack on a left winger.

it should just be an attack on all americans..

 

[Mooseman]

Thats a painting and not a photo? Huh.

What should be an attack on all americans? If you mean the trouncing of the constitution, I agree. If you are stating that previous presidents have done so, yes, but the current assbag in the white house has taken it to a whole new level. No one can tell me that the current dictator is anywhere close to what bush was.

I love Jon's work.

Bad is bad. Could argue about how bad all day no point really. Either way the presidents have just been setting up so that the person in the next term is worse than the previous. Obama will be far worse in his next term. And after him worse if we all manage to still even have rights at that point.
