Comments on two paintings by Kehinde Wiley



Kehinde Wiley's Napoleon Leading the Army Over the Alps, 2005 
The Timbs, cargo pants, bandana, sweat bands, tats and white tee tell me everything I need to know about how Kehinde Wiley feels about code-switching. –Andrea Brown
Kehinde Wiley's Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness (2013)
Why is it that Wiley chooses to change not only the race but the gender and age of the subject in Saint John the Baptists in the Wilderness unlike in his other featured pieces? –Cheaka Wilson
