UPDATE ON MY "CON EXPO" TIRADE

JOSE MARIA CANO, WHAT EXACTLY IS HE DOING? ... […] ... Now, here's something I found especially appalling.

Please check out this link:

It reads: "Meeting with Vaclav Havel was the last point of Barack Obama's Prague visit. During this private meeting, Vaclav Havel presented American President Barack Obama - a portrait of the president by the Spanish artist José-María Cano.

"José-María Cano generously offered this painting to Vaclav Havel as a gift for Barack Obama", said Leos Valka, director of DOX, Centre for Contemporary art in Holesovice, Prague. The painting will be exhibited at the Centre from Thursday, April 9. until April 27, 2009. After that, the painting, measuring 210 x 149,5 cm, will travel to the White House. The portrait is created using the encaustic technique of painting with hot wax.

After viewing the exhibition Welcome to Capitalism!, which was on view at DOX Centre from last October to February this year, Vaclav Havel was enthusiastic about the Spanish artist's works. Therefore, DOX Centre's director, Leoš Válka offered President Vaclav Havel the option of presenting President Barack Obama with the portrait and Havel welcomed the idea."

This means a copy of a drawing I made was given as a gift to Vaclav Havel who then re-gifted it for president Obama?! And it's now hanging in the White House?! You can bet your knickers I will do my damndest to let the President know he was scammed by the Spaniards and the Czechs! ;-)))

Dice: "Reunión con Vaclav Havel fue el último punto de la visita de Barack Obama Praga. En el encuentro privado, Vaclav Havel presentó el Presidente americano Barack Obama - un retrato del presidente por el artista español José-María Cano.

"José María Cano ofreció generosamente este cuadro a Vaclav Havel como un regalo para Barack Obama", dijo Leos Valka, director de DOX, centro de arte contemporáneo en Holesovice, Praga. La pintura será exhibida en el Centro desde el jueves 9 de abril. hasta el 27 de abril 2009. Después de eso, la pintura, que mide 210 x 149,5 cm, viajará a la Casa Blanca. El retrato es creado utilizando la técnica de encáustica de la pintura con cera caliente.

Después de ver la exposición Bienvenido al capitalismo!, Que fue en la visión en DOX Centro desde octubre del año pasado a febrero de este año, Vaclav Havel, se entusiasmó con las obras del artista español. Por lo tanto, el director DOX Centro, Leoš Válka presidente Vaclav Havel ofreció la opción de presentar el Presidente Barack Obama con el retrato y Havel acogió con beneplácito la idea. "

Esto significa que una copia de un dibujo que hice fue dado como un regalo a Vaclav Havel, que luego re-dotados para el presidente Obama?! Y ahora cuelga en la Casa Blanca?! Usted puede apostar tus calzones haré mi Damndest para que el Presidente sabe que él fue engañado por los españoles y los checos! ;-)))
