I can't decide which of these tweets is better, even though they make basically the same point. For me the completely black background is particularly disturbing. It causes a minor but very real activation of my fight or flight response. This is in fact a perfect representation of who Obama is, a thin veneer of style covering up something completely substanceless.

it's a stark and uncompromising departure from tradition, op. the artist shuns the ostentatious self-aggrandisement typical of presidential portraits in favour of a work that is understated, unassuming, and meticulously controlled, reflecting the leadership style of the man himself. obama stands black and beautiful against the raw unbroken whiteness of the background. one imagines his photorealistic nakedness

It's a little flat, but at least it has a bit of personality to it. It seems like it's a painting of an actual human being. Barack's one seems like it's a painting made from a thispersondoesn'texist face generator.
