The Obama Portraits | 
Michelle Obama‘s portrait by Amy Sherald. There‘s a good representation of her work as well as an interview/ segment on her in the HBO series Black Art: In the Absence of Light. I bought this book specifically to find out more about Amy. Maybe I can see her work in person some day. â¤ï¸
Bookzombie Such a beautiful piece of art! 4y
Hooked_on_books I don‘t know if she was the artist, but I‘ll never forget the story of the little girl being mesmerized by MO‘s portrait in a museum and having all the doors in the world open up for her when she looked at it. Little black girls deserve to walk any path they choose and watching her respond to that portrait just brought tears to my eyes. (Edit: Just saw your previous post, and yes, she‘s the artist! 😆) (edited) 4y
