A floor-to-ceiling mural at a British restaurant has been labeled \u201coffensive\u201d by an ethics committee. The mural, which is about one hundred years old, was painted by Rex Whistler when he was twenty-three-years-old. The mural scene depicts enslaved children and caricatures of Chinese persons on \u201cThe Expedition in Pursuit of Rare Meats,\u201d as the artwork is entitled. The mural was Whistler\u2019s attempt to narrate the grand adventures people of old had to go on in order to source foods and goods from exotic parts of the world.<\/p>\n
The artwork was restored back in 2013 despite showing enslaved Black children in ropes. However, the mural came under attack in July after the \u201cWhite Pube\u201d critics complained about the mural\u2019s outdated content. The critique group has gained international recognition in recent years and was described by Vogue Magainze as \u201cself-styled cowboy critics shaking up the arts establishment.\u201d<\/p>\n
