CHUCK CLOSE PRINTS, PROCESS & COLLABORATION MAY 12 – SEPT 5, 2016

Volume 25 March • April 2016 Number 2 www.artaccess.com www.artaccess.com © March • April 2016 3 Close Six years ago, I did a lot of research for a book I was writing about friendship. I wrote down things in one of those tiny notebooks I carry around, things like: “You don’t need a thick skin to have friends. You need a porous one.” And there was a moment last night when I thought I was about to share this quote with someone. I was giving a talk at a Unitarian Women’s Retreat. During the Q & A, almost Write of Way Write everyone likes to tell a story about their own experience. One woman shared that according to an article she’d read, as many as fifteen percent of American adults don’t have a single close friend. “This means,” she said, whipping out her phone to do the math, except she couldn’t figure how to use her calculator, “well, anyway, a lot of people are friendless.” “Sad, considering how well connected we are,” I said, very much facetiously, pointing at her phone. “The author said she interviewed people who are turning to Siri for contact, but that’s not contact. Why should I care if a machine knows I’m lonely?” And then the question went around the room: What do we mean by close? “Someone who will offer to pick me up at the airport.” “Someone who will sit with you when your mother dies and let you cry for hours.” “I called my friend Lynette when my pressure cooker exploded,” I said. “Split pea soup everywhere. I couldn’t cope.” “I don’t have a friend who would clean up split pea soup,” another said. “Close, but not that close.” I had to think. Let’s see, I have at least three friends I can call when crises strikes. And a few more recent ones that I hope will be as long-lasting. But I’ve lost enough to understand that the closer friendships are, the more fragile they can become. Which reminds me of another truth I wrote in my notebook, “tread carefully.” Another said she found it difficult to keep friends, that she tends to wind up disappointed. And because so many other women at so many other Q & As have expressed the same problem, I assumed, wrongly, that she was struggling with friendship in the long run because of an unrealistic perfection quest. I think of all the pain I could have saved if I’d just brought my expectations down a notch or two over the years. I was about to say as much. And that in each of my closest friendships there has been at least one moment when we could have broken up, but we came through, stronger than ever. I nearly shared another quote, too: “Friendships are like marriages. We love each other, but we have to be able to hate each other sometimes, too. Even be bored by each other.” Luckily, before I said any of this, I asked, “What do you mean by disappointed?” She stared at me. “What disappoints you?” I repeated. And this was her honest, unabashed, and totally unexpected reply: “You mean, like, when she slept with my husband?” The room went silent. Then, oh, how we laughed! Her reply was so real, yet so unassertive, I’ve never forgotten it. The whole evening was intimate and special like that. That’s the most interesting part about the work I do: No matter how well I plan ahead — going over my notes, knowing my material—it’s usually something totally unplanned that makes the whole evening one of the more satisfying. And the most interesting part of writing is that it’s like having those evenings back. Marylou Sanelli Marylou Sanelli works as a writer and literary speaker. Her latest book is A Woman Writing.

Michael Jackson looks down at us from his seat on a magnificent stallion in the first gallery of the Seattle Art Museum’s stunning exhibition “Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic.” Looking closer we see subtle references to Jackson’s famously changing color: from rear to head, the horse actually changes color from brown to white and, in the sky, a white and a brown putto place a garland on his head. Wiley actually met with Jackson and the singer chose the Rubens equestrian portrait of Philip II of Spain as the basis for his portrait (in the original the horse is brown and includes voluptuous women Kehinde Wiley • “Equestrian Portrait of King Philip II (Michael Jackson),” oil on canvas, 128 x 112 inches with a globe in the sky). Wiley titled his © Kehinde Wiley painting “Equestrian Portrait of King On view at the Seattle Art Museum • Seattle, WA Phillip II of Spain (Michael Jackson),” He embeds this driving purpose in painting making his provocative purpose clear. The and sculpture that overwhelms us with 16th -17th centuries were the height of beauty, scale, and technical virtuosity.

Kehinde Wiley characterizes black masculinity in our contemporary media The artist jump shifts from one historical culture as “structured, manufactured format to another, keeping us dazzled and consumed” to create a “conspicuous by his references, but disrupted by his fraud.” He repositions black men and reinterpretations. women from their traditional role in Among the portraits, “Mugshot Study”

Wiley here ordinary people, rather than celebrities, simply enhances a traditional mugshot, making the transformation all the more humanizing the young man with classical dramatic and pointed. chiaroscuro. Under the portrait we see the assigned criminal number of the young man, almost invisible in white on white— a reference to who gave him the number and his status in a society that incarcerates millions of black men. A roomful of “Religious Subjects” glow with gold leaf on small private altars, echoing the format of Hans Memling’s fifteenth century portraits of Flemish merchants. Here contemporary young black men hold emblems of power, their names declaring their identity. Wiley began his project by finding volunteers in the streets of Harlem, what he calls “street casting,” although he presents only beautiful people (he also found models at a casting studio).

Wiley’s painting and sculpture overwhelm us with their scale and meticulous detail (he works with a team in China these days). He floods us with sensory overload, then provokes us with the unexpected at every turn.

Such a surprise is vintage Wiley: a classical format tilts in a new direction. Michael Jackson’s equestrian portrait belongs to the theme “Symbols of Power.” As a partner to that, Wiley created “An Economy of Grace,” portraits of women. Again he found random women to participate, but in this case they were elaborately adorned in Givenchy gowns, with sensational hair arrangements by the celebrity hair stylist Dee Trannybear. By far my favorite of the women’s portraits was “Judith and Holofernes” in which an imposing black Judith holds the white head of Holofernes (also a women) against a lush flower background.
