Naomi and Her Daughters
Woeful shyness has no place in Kehinde Wiley’s work. Naomi and Her Daughters depicts a mother and her daughters on guard, on all sides, ready to face whatever or whomever comes their way. –Ryan CollinsReady to face whatever or whomever comes their way, Naomi and Her Daughters is the quintessential image of strength as they stand together, a unit, staring intensely. They are a force to be reckoned with. —Victoria Lefler They are a force to be reckoned with, signified by the bright colors and defiant stares, Kehinde Wiley presents Naomi and Her Daughters in stark contrast to its original, offering a depiction of strength, love, and determination through the embrace of its subjects and the bold colors that surround them. —Sokeyra Francisco Through the embrace of its subjects and the bold colors that surround them accurately captures the intensity of a mother’s love and the desire to protect Black girlhood. The passion of Naomi’s stare illustrates her willingness to protect her daughters from any danger that they will encounter. —Precious Thompson
