Passing/Posing: Kehinde Wiley Paintings
UNITED STATES BROOKLYN, NEW YORK • Brooklyn Museum of Art • Ongoing |
 |
This marks the first museum exhibition of works by the critically acclaimed American artist Kehinde Wiley (born 1977), whose portraits of African American men combine elements of hip-hop culture with an Old Master’s influence. Wiley’s paintings span a range of art historical and vernacular styles—from French Rococo to today’s urban street—into a unique contemporary vision.
