The #State Department wants to sell a painting by the celebrated artist #KehindeWiley that the director of its Art in Embassies program called “very woke” & “aesthetically terrifying.” It was removed from the #US Embassy in the #DominicanRepublic last week.

…State Department officials removed the painting from the embassy last week, after first hiding it behind a tarp designed with an image of the American flag.

@MarjoleinRotsteeg inspired by your poems, do not judge strictly. I'm a marketer, not an artist! ) P.S. mixed with #Kehindewiley style

This is quite possibly one of the most stunning portraits I’ve ever seen. By chance we arrived at the #Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery just as it opened and we made a bee-line to go see it before the crowds made their way towards that gallery. #Obama #KehindeWiley

The life and times of Kehinde Wiley, who painted the Obama portrait and has a thriving art studio churning out paintings of black people in classical settings.
