Wiley’s new work is presented in conversation with Thomas Gainsborough’s Blue Boy, purchased by collectors Henry and Arabella Huntington 100 years ago. A deep connection exists between the museum’s most famous painting and the artist who is known for creating one of the most beloved presidential portraits of our time. A native of Los Angeles, Wiley has often spoken about his childhood visits to The Huntington’s British portrait gallery and how they inspired him to become an artist. Richly illustrated with portraits by Wiley and by 18th-century masters such as Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds, and Thomas Hudson, this book offers insight into the evolving history of portraiture and the representation of power. An essay by Malik Gaines, Associate Professor of Performance Studies at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, investigates Wiley’s postmodern strategy of inserting Black subjects into canonical European settings. An essay by fashion historian Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell situates Wiley’s work within the traditions and trappings of eighteenth-century grand manner portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelinda McCurdy is Curator of British Art at the Huntington Art Museum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 ½ x 9 ½”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e72 pages with 33 color illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Distributed Art Publ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43461866750189,"sku":"105378","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/6017\/5085\/products\/TheHuntington-16_6c0f2ddc-da91-48c5-85df-148ea3b759f6.jpg?v=1674083330"},{"product_id":"becoming-america-highlights-from-the-jonathan-and-karin-fielding","title":"BECOMING AMERICA: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE JONATHAN AND KARIN FIELDING COLLECTION OF FOLK ART","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrating two collectors’ passion for Americana and the window it provides into the everyday beauty of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBecoming\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e America\u003c\/em\u003e offers a multifaceted view of one of the foremost collections of 18th- and 19th-century American folk and decorative art from the rural Northeast.
