Lincoln Public Library: Kehinde Wiley's Color & Splendor

Join us to celebrate Black History Month with an art talk by Jane Oneail of Culturally Curious.

Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Obama cemented his status in the contemporary art world as an artist that mixes Grand Manner portraiture traditions, intricate patterns and designs, and a vibrant, technicolor palette. His paintings, which most often depict contemporary African American subjects, examine visual codes for power and challenge expectations. This program explores the artist’s life and provides an overview of his works and inspiration.
