The rumor has it there is a hidden message painted on Obama in his portrait.
A supporting fact, Kehinde Wiley, the artist, did add sperm to his painting Napoleon Leading the Army over the Alps. This article about the Napoleon painting suggests his reason for painting the sperm. I think he has a nonbinary gender dysphoria condition.
Change one word,, Napoleon to Obama, Change the horse for a throne, and one can see Obama may have picked the wrong painter.
Quote:
The background is also infused with tiny paintings of sperm—Wiley’s way of poking fun at the highly charged masculinity and propagation of gendered identity that are involved in the Western tradition of portraiture. This particular subgenre of portraiture—the equestrian portrait—is particularly infused with the lineage of male power. From classical Rome to post-revolutionary France, political and military leaders on horseback have evoked and perpetuated social norms of masculine might and control (for example, this equestrian portrait of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius).
