Cute

A glance at the new White House art collection (gleaned from the old Nat'l Gallery collection)--the first few canvases look like cousins of Michele's smart, Americana garments. The pertinent Ruscha and telegraph-as-ready-made are inspired. The Catlin "Plains Indian" canvases (which will be replacing George's dippy Remingtons) even more so....now how about "blurring the line between art and [executive power]" and pardoning Leonard Peltier...?
