The Artist Project: Kehinde Wiley

"The volume's turned up too high on so much of this stuff, to the point where we can almost recognize the absurdity of it."
Artist Kehinde Wiley reflects on the work of John Singer Sargent in this episode of The Artist Project-an online series in which artists respond to works of art in The Met collection.
