Spanish magazine under fire for "slave" picture of Mrs. Obama
A Spanish magazine this month depicts Michelle Obama as a 19th Century French slave — a controversial move that has left critics wondering if the image choice was more provocative than political.
On the August 2012 cover of Fuera de Serie, the first lady’s face is superimposed over the 1800 "Portrait d'une négresse," by French artist Marie-Guillemine Benoist. The painting depicts a female French slave in a headdress and white gown, one breast exposed.
