The Obama paintings will not look like any in the White House portrait collection to which they will be added. They were America’s first Black president and first lady.
“I am pleased that my portrait brings an interesting symmetry to the White House collection. It now starts and ends with a George W,” Bush quipped at his ceremony in 2012.
Other portraits of early presidents and first ladies often came to the White House as gifts. Since the 1960s, the White House Historical Association has paid for most of the paintings. President Barack Obama applauds former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, May 31, 2012, where the Bush’s portraits were unveiled.
Those that are on display line hallways and rooms in public areas of the mansion, such as the Ground Floor and its Vermeil and China Rooms, and the State Floor one level above, which has the famous Green, Blue and Red Rooms, the East Room and State Dining Room.
