According to Brande Victorian From ‘Madame Noire’, the First Lady of the US; naked, nude, depicted as a slave on the cover of the August issue of the Spanish magazine, Fuera de Serie, in the likeness of the Afro-Guadeloupean female slave painted by French artist Marie-Guilhelmine Benoist in 1795, is an act of disrespect.
The weekly magazine is a lifestyle supplement to the Spanish newspaper Expansión.” The headline that accompanied the feature on the Flotus was “Michelle Tataranieta De Esclava, Dueña De América” (Michelle great-great granddaughter of a slave, owner of America).
Artist Karine Percheron-Daniels made the nude image of Michelle Obama to suggest that Michelle Obama is and always will be a slave, no matter how removed from physical enslavement, and how high of a position she’s climbed to in society.
Percheron-Daniels recreated others for a series of “famous nudes” that includes portraits of Princess Diana, Eva Peron, Albert Einstein, and even Barack Obama. Apparently, Percheron-Daniels wanted to showcase an “alternative unexpected reality” that allows us to “view famous individuals in a different way.”
However none of her other nude subjects are depicted in such a so-called alternative way.
