Explain what you mean by "happy that it's recognized."
Very dumb idea on the festivals committee to not screen this.
Ultimately, it's just bad publicity for an otherwise great cultural event. We (louisiana) are in the news some something backwards..again.

well here is the thing
these sorts of pictures are common. i don't know the style, but it's a part of our culture. just look at any jazz fest poster
this artist has a history of painting in that style
now, the lips were a foolish inclusion. if the picture didn't have the lips, i doubt there is an outrage

I've been saying from the get-go that I thought it looked like folk art. I saw nothing wrong with it because my mind doesn't even drift into a sphere of racism.
It does, however, drift into the area of art and art appreciation, tradition and history. The fact that it is in the style of a local artist only adds to the aforementioned.
I guess the point is - I'm not racist nor was I looking for racism. I saw the poster for what it was - Art in a style with which I was familiar.
Sorry you are so close-minded.
