White Minotaur,

by Thomas Neubert, 2017

acrylic and collage on canvas,

50 in x 40 in

In The White Minotaur the words collaged upon the painting are from the Atlantic Monthly, October 2017 issue, pages 76 to 87, The First White President, by Ta-Nehisi Coates. 

Let me give a few quotes Ta-Nehisi Coates' passionate, reasoned and poetically insightful article.

"His political career began in advocacy of birtherism, that modern recasting of the old American precept that black people are not fit to be citizens of the country they built."

"But the dignity accorded to white labor was situational, dependent on the scorn heaped upon black labor--much as the honor accorded a "virtuous lady" was dependent on the derision directed at a "loose woman.""

"The first black president found that he was personally toxic to the GOP base. An entire political party was organized around the explicit aim of negating one man."
