#RuVealed!: National Portrait Gallery Unveils the Obama’s Paintings By Artists Kehinde Wiley & Amy Sherald

The National Portrait Gallery today unveiled portraits of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Barack’s portrait was painted by Kehinde Wiley, known for his vibrant, large-scale paintings of African-Americans. Michelle’s portrait was painted by the Baltimore-based artist Amy Sherald.

The paintings were revealed today at the gallery, which is part of the Smithsonian group of museums where there are a complete collection of presidential portraits on display.

I know. I was just thinking the same thing. Even after Trump is gone, it’s part of our history to hang his portrait in the National Gallery.
