Kehinde Wiley - A New Republic (Hardcover)

Celebrated for his classically styled paintings that depict African
American men in heroic poses, Kehinde Wiley is among the expanding
ranks of prominent black artists - such as Mickalene Thomas, Yinka
Shonibare, Kerry James Marshall and Sanford Biggers - who are
reworking art history and questioning its depictions of people of
colour. This volume surveys Wiley's career from 2001 to the
present. It includes early portraits of the men Wiley observed on
Harlem's streets, and which laid the foundation for his acclaimed
reworkings of Old Master paintings by Titian, van Dyke, Manet and
others, in which he replaces historical subjects with young African
American men in contemporary attire: puffy jackets, sneakers,
hoodies and baseball caps. Also included is a generous selection
from Wiley's ongoing World Stage project; several of his enormous
Down paintings; striking male portrait busts in bronze; and
examples from the artist's new series of stained-glass windows.
Accompanying the illustrations are essays that introduce readers to
the arc of Wiley's career, its critical reception, and ongoing
evolution. Published in association with the Brooklyn Museum, New
York.
