This is the painting by a high school student creating controversy at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The painting is the work of high school student David Pulpus, who won an art competition sponsored Democratic Rep. William Lacy Clay. It was judged by an independent panel of art professionals, CNN reported.
Democratic Rep. William Lacy Clay plans to return a painting to its Capitol Hill display after a colleague took offense and removed it because it shows a pig in a police uniform aiming a gun at African-American protesters. The painting by a high school student in Clay's district was inspired by the shooting and protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
"Untitled #1" by David Pulphus has drawn criticism from Bay Area police unions who say it depicts officers as warthog-like creatures. The acrylic painting was selected as the winner of Missouri Congressman William Lacy Clay's 16th annual Congressional Art Competition last spring.
A painting that hangs in the U.S. Capitol building has caused backlash among Republicans and police for depicting cops as animals. The picture, drawn by a high school senior, was the winning piece in an art contest held by Democratic Rep. Lacy Clay back in May, and thus was exhibited at the Capitol complex.
