From Express Gay News:
“The Broward Art Guild’s annual “Controversy” exhibit has lived up to its name this year. A gay artist’s entry that depicts President Bush in a compromising position has prompted a complaint to a county official and sparked a debate over art censorship.”

This painting is brilliant. I absolutely love it. What upsets me is how the exhibit organizers pat themselves on the back for not censoring the art when in fact they did. They suppressed the piece by putting it in the back behind a curtain. Behind a curtain?!? What next for artists wanting freedom of expression? Will their political works be displayed past barbed wire and smoke? Will viewers wanting to see the piece be forced to sign a loyalty pledge to the nation? Ridiculous.

If only prints were available. I’d proudly hang it on my wall.
