Αι μεν ηδοναί θνηταί αι δε αρεταί αθάνατοι.

Periander of Corinth

Pleasures are mortal while the virtues are immortal.*

In Greek mythology, the Three Graces were more commonly known as the Charites, although today, the Roman name, the Graces, is more often used. The Charites, or Graces, were three sisters, minor goddesses, and daughters of Zeus and the Oceanid Eurynome.

Hesiod, in the Theogony, named the Three Graces as, Aglaea, Thalia and Euphrosyne. The role of these goddess in Greek mythology was to spread goodwill, pleasure and mirth; and were also goddesses of song and dance, a role that would overlap with that of the Muses.

Kehinde Wiley - An Archaeology of Silence

An Archaeology of Silence is the namesake of this piece, arguably the most breathtaking of the collection. For whiteness in general and white America specifically, the piece is a mirror, an entanglement of glory and suffering, discovery and erasure, settlement and displacement. For Indigenous and Black America it is a symbol of futures that allow us to look to the past to move forward. It is a relic of our origin story, an artifact of our epistemology, and where should it live if not in museums? Where else could our suffering be looked upon with honor and quiet reflection, with reverence and respect?

Kehinde Wiley - Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos, 2021, after John Vanderlyn, 1825

John Vanderlyn - Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos, 1825

Kehinde Wiley (b. 1977, Los Angeles) is an American artist best known for his portraits that render people of color in the traditional settings of European Old Master paintings. Wiley’s work brings art history face-to-face with contemporary culture, using the visual rhetoric of the heroic, the powerful, the majestic and the sublime to celebrate Black and Brown people the artist has met throughout the world. Working in the mediums of painting, sculpture, and video, Wiley’s portraits challenge and reorient art-historical narratives, awakening complex issues that many would prefer to remain muted.

n 2018, Wiley became the first African American artist to paint an official US presidential portrait for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery after former US president Barack Obama selected Wiley for this honor. In 2019 Wiley founded Black Rock Senegal, a multidisciplinary artist-in-residence program that invites artists from around the world to live and create work in Dakar, Senegal.
