Kehinde Wiley Show at Brooklyn Museum Busy on Last Weekend

    by

    The line was pretty long but the people watching was fun at the Kehinde Wiley show at the Brooklyn Museum Saturday. Some seemed to have matched their outfits to the art, mostly by combining brightly colored prints.

    For those of you not familiar, the Brooklyn based painter is known for his vibrant, highly patterned portraits of contemporary black men and women in compositions from well-known Old Masters paintings. New work in the show included portraits in stained glass and gold-leafed icons.
