Another blogger actually raised questions about the piece back in July: “I have been on a rant about this for three days. But I mean, really. Look up both images on Google, turn Thomas’ 90 degrees to the left (right?) and you tell me if this work should be included in the new White House Collection of American Art, not to mention how the ____ did it ever get chosen for the Hirshhorn in the first place? Can anyone say plagiarism? American art? I don’t think so!”
