Kehinde Wiley is no Al Hirschfeld (readers unfamiliar -- check out the biodoc at https://www.amazon.com/Line-King-Al-Hirschfeld-Story/dp/B07DSGQQ1Q ) as an artist, but he's mastered a modern adaptation of Hirschfeld's signature "find the Nina's" gambit. And what good is a publicity ploy without conspiracty theorists and journalism critics willing to board the hype train?
The ambiguous hint of his favorite motif (spur-mat-uh-ZOH-uh) is perhaps all Wiley was willing to risk with such a revered, prominent, and out-and-out rumor-prone subject. Critics and reporters familiar with Kehinde's other work certainly have reason to swallow the bait, as it were, and reproduce wily Mr. Wiley's name in the unlikeliest of places, e.g. your subscribers' inboxes. Not exactly the kind of "hard" news we anticipate from your Substack, Ken, but just sassy and irreverant enough to counterpoint the leg-tingled fawning of Obama era White House coverage.
