Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic Eugenie Tsai Paperback 2015 *Missing Page

Description: Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic Eugenie Tsai Paperback 2015 *Missing Page. Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic celebrates a major American art-ist. Kehinde Wiley has achieved a level of critical and popular success rare for one so young. He has challenged and complicated the tradition of European and American portraiture and brought issues of race, power, and the politics of representation to the fore in our cultural conversation. With its complex blend of appropriation, visual splendor, and, oftentimes, wry humor, Wiley's work has attained a global reach, notably in his remarkable international series The World Stage. This book presents a broad overview of Wiley's prolific career, from 2001 to the present. It features spectacular portraits of black men--the artist's signature works--along with exciting new developments: portraits of women, monumental sculpture, and "paintings" in stained glass. The format of the book departs from the conventions of long-form scholarship and critical writing, presenting instead a series of short commentaries, each devoted to an individual work or series of works, and commissioned from thirty-five individuals. Because Wiley's paintings make reference to sources from both art history and contemporary popular cul-ture, the invited writers are not only art historians and critics but also poets, fiction writers, and cultural commentators. The chronological arrangement of the plates allows Wiley's career to gradually unfold, accompanied by the multiple responses of nearly three dozen writers. Generously illustrated, and with new interpretive texts by an array of distinguished contributors, this comprehensive volume puts before us the full sweep of Wiley's multifaceted career.
