The art: Kehinde Wiley, Willem van Heythuysen, 2006.
The news: “Baratunde Thurston Explains How to be Black,” on NPR’s Fresh Air. Thurston is the director of digital at The Onion and the author of the new book, “How to Be Black.”
The source: Collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond.
Note: Wiley’s paintings, which put contemporary sitters in poses borrowed from Old Master paintings, play with questions of self-identity and projected identity in ways that aren’t that different from Thurston’s comedy…
