ART: "Keep on talkin', Michelle Malkin"
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 06:40 PM by Bluebear


Michelle Malkin is depicted as a prisoner in an internment camp in a painting by Seattle artist Roger Shimomura. In Keep on talkin', Michelle Malkin, the American activist who has tried to minimize the concerns of Japanese Americans about the internment, is shown placed inside a camp building, her mouth open in protest.

A link to more Shimomura paintings in the internment camp series can be found at:

12. What difference does that make?
Really. That has nothing to do with the power of the statement made with this painting. Sheesh...

It has everything to do with it.

curious much?

Is that Shirley Temple? Why would the artist put Shirley Temple in the painting?

I think those are legitimate questions when looking at something like this.


on edit: saw your other post. :)

17. I think the point is if you were Shirley Temple, you had the chance to be a superstar
If you were Tadashi Nakamura, you were also an American citizen but locked up in a camp.
