It is estimated over four million people have visited the portraits of the Obamas at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. Later this year these portraits will go on tour.br/ br/ From Wikipedia: quot;The portrait artist, Amy Sherald, was selected by the First Lady. Michelle Obama's face is stylized in shades of gray, an artistic technique known as grisaille, a key theme in works by Sherald, and the background is a simple blue evoking American folk art.quot;br/ br/ While taking photographs, I noticed viewers at both Obama portraits exhibited a combination of quiet reverence and longing ... perhaps processing a nation that traded a sense of hope for gratuitous bullyism and mean tweets.
