• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the art works of artist Kehinde Wiley. Creating anonymous, heroically scaled portraits of contemporary African-American males, Wiley explores many grand precedents of European painting, while offering a wry critique of today's media version of black masculinity. One of his paintings' is depicted life-size on an ample arched panel. In the painting a young African-American man wearing a red T-shirt, a red baseball cap turned backwards, a puffy blue winter jacket and blue jeans is shown.
