  • New York-based artist Kehinde Wiley did not see himself reflected on the walls of the world's great museums, so he set out to create classical-style paintings featuring men and women of color, often echoing masterworks. Rita Braver meets with the artist and tours a new exhibition of his work.

      Do you mean the portraits based on the story of Judith in the Old Testament? Those paintings are just as classically inspired and just as artful as the rest of his work, but with all due respect, I don't think you really care about that. You just want something to be offended by.

      The "original" paintings weren't white women holding black women's heads! And don't talk like "the book of Judith" is in the St. James Bible, it isn't. It is considered "non-historical ", so get over yourself trying to justify this racist and his violent racist POOR painting COPIES!!

      You do realize that the beheading painting is titled "Judith and Holofernes" and is a direct reference to the biblical story of Judith in the Old Testament, right? Or are you just being sanctimonious without actually researching the painting you're talking about?

      There are numerous pieces of art throughout history where not only black people are depicted hung, being enslaved, tortured, killed etc, but also Europeans themselves hanging, decapitating, enslaving, torturing, killing each other. These pieces are of course significant memoirs of your past in museums to expressive pieces by the artists themselves all over the world. You are allowed to show your history and express yourselves but of course your white privilege kicks in when it's the other way around.

    So he is basically copying, recycling and bashing elements together.
    I don't care for the message in these pieces, I only care for how good it looks, and it doesn't. There is no mastery, no skill, no hard work in there. He probably doesn't even know about color theory or anatomy, for gods sake.

      Just disappointed. He isn't anywhere close to being as good as he's been made out to be. Jeremy Geddes and Roberto Ferri are probably my personal favorite painters working today and they are many leagues above this guy but I don't think they get as much attention. I could be wrong, but I don't think they do. Though Ferri did do portraits of I think multiple popes. Anyhow something really petty about people who use that word "hater". It's nice you can label someone but can you address the argument?
