I hold not a single modicum of respect for anyone who would describe themselves as “one of her supporters”

I think his portraits are legit amazing. Seeing powerful people portrayed in a very folky and crude but accurate way is quite thought provoking, a far cry from the usual imperious and dignified portraits.
It’s a bit ridiculous to throw such a tantrum over something that is basically just an unflattering image. Bog standard for photos used in articles in the news etc when the editor has a slant. It really highlights just how fragile her self concept is, how much she needs power over others. It’s also been fascinating to see people siding with her outside of the owner class.

Only the people she owns, right?

As a miner, she isn’t a miner. Remember she said she’d replace us with slaves if she could

That portrait should be on shirts and bumper stickers

I think that the colour painting is now so iconic that if it already doesn’t own it then the national gallery should purchase it.
It would only be fair and reasonable to pay the amount the gallery paid for Blue Poles in 1973, adjusted for inflation of course, so about $15,378,000.
If the gallery doesn’t own the painting then I might have to create a petition.
