A Spanish publication, Magazine de Fuera de Serie, released an explosive cover of Michelle Obama's head superimposed on the body of a slave.

Michelle face tops the body of an African Guadeloupean female slave painted by French artist Marie-Guilhelmine Benoist in 1800, which critics say is a racist interpretation of the modern day politico.
The first lady is draped in an American flag, wears a headscrarf with her breast out, and is perched beside the the headline — "Michelle Granddaughter of a Slave, Lady of America."
No word on the article accompanying the art, but we do know the picture is one in a series by artist Karine Percheron-Daniels of famous people's heads — Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth II, Abraham Lincoln, and President Barack Obama — atop nude or partially nude art subjects.

Meanwhile, Karine says she's sure Michelle would "love" the picture and she hopes the president's wife sees it one day.
