Brothers (I thought Lincoln would have been taller?)
Logan Oldenburg sent in this interesting composition with Lincoln with Obama entitled “BROTHERS”. It is a well done piece – even if a little out of proportion, considering Abraham’s 6 foot 5 inch stature. More photos inside.

Logan says that the painting is currently for sale. If anyone is interested, leave a comment and we will pass along his number.

In an interview I read Logan Oldenburg made Obama bigger in the original painting entitled “Brothers” is to accentuate the present and the future to be larger than the past. I mean look at Obama’s daily smile, did Lincoln once smile in his life ? Mentors can survive many generations. The artist’s interpretation I find quite unique. On one evening, I have seen this painting close up, at a show when it was not for sale but merely on display, excellent large scale “Pop Art”, that emotionally humored many viewers
