Malkin's just mad because they didn't select the piece of art that best represents her: Edvard Munch's "The Scream."

None of the art the Obamas chose even looks like anything real anyway...

I can't let this go... Between this and Glenn Beck's explication of the 'symbology' of Rockefeller Center, it's good to see that art matters once more.

So Malkin claims that Alma forged the Matisse because she couldn't think up anything to paint on her own. Not only that, but a cabal of art critics, curators, liberals, terrorists, communists, and the Obamas accepted this fraudulent artifact as representative of the highest achievements of American art. It took the crack team of art historians over at the FreeRepublic to expose the whole rouse. Indeed, simply by showing the two works together (one rotated 90 degrees, of course, but what does that matter?) it was revealed to every commonsense American that Thomas simply copied Matisse. And what could be worse than a black woman copying a white man whose 'art' any child could do anyway?

It's impossible for Malkin to imagine that Thomas may have explicitly wanted people to note the resemblance between her work and a well known masterpiece. Or that the conceptual implications of a black woman appropriating the work of a white artist who routinely 'copied' directly from African art might raise any additional questions about the historical power dynamics that have historically sanctioned certain kinds of 'art and imitation.' No, the bottom line for Malkin is that the two kind of look alike, which means Thomas and the Obamas are dumb.

It's a good thing, probably, that Malkin is missing much of the point here. Her head would probably pop right off if she really thought about what Thomas was doing, and the questions about race, gender, and art implicit in Watusi. It is definitely much, much 'worse' than Malkin imagines.

Maybe soon she'll get to the Glenn Ligon piece that the Obamas also now have in the White House. But he just copied some text that someone else wrote! And you can't even really read it in some places! That's right, Michelle... it's only copying. How stupid.

I saw Michelle Malkin on a clip from Fox the other day. I have never seen anyone more ungracious and consumed with hate in all my life. The plastic surgery will not be able to disguise her innate ugliness for too much longer just as Ann Coulter's plastic surgery is no longer enough to keep the ugliness at bay. They are both embarrassments to females all over the world.

Before Obama was elected, I would have sworn wingnuts had no creativity. They prove me wrong every day of the week.

Malkin is like a mental patient who has calmed down just long enough to be let out of her staight jacket only to start shrieking and smearing herself with her own feces again. Time for electro shock again little insane one.

blacksq, thank you for reminding me that many of the French Impressionists relied heavily on African/Asian/Polynesian motifs.

Certainly welcome news... Reminds me of the bumper sticker: This time I want a smart President...

As for Malkin, her insanity is her bread and butter. I feel sorry for the woman. She has painted herself into a corner and the road is all downhill from here.

Michell knows art like fox knows news. She also never learned the lesson that you shouldn't make an ugly face because it might just stay like that forever.

I hate modern art. Give me the portraits of the 19th century! Ah! That makes me glad while modern art just makes me roll my eyes.
