Obama-Crucifix Painting Removed from NYC for Outrage in 2008, Now on Display in Boston Without Complaint
A painting that depicts President Barack Obama as Jesus Christ on the cross is on display in Boston. The artwork, titled ‘Truth,’ was due to debut four years ago in New York’s Union Square but the exhibition was cancelled due to public outrage.
It is now finally gracing the walls of a community college art gallery as part of a larger exhibit called ‘Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012’ and hasn’t had even one complaint.
In the piece, by Michael D’Antuono, the President is shown wearing a suit and red tie with his arms outstretched. But instead of actually being nailed to a cross like Jesus, Mr Obama’s arms are extended drawing back a blue curtain. He has a crown of thorns resting on his head.
The painting is on display at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery until December 15th and has so far had no complaints.
