Title
Rumors of War (Meadowbrook, Virginia)
Description
Kehinde Wiley's large bronze sculpture sits it stark defiance to the recently removed Confederate monuments that once lined Richmond Virginia's infamous Monument Avenue. Originally unveiled in Times Square, the sculpture depicts a African American man clad in a hoodie and jeans atop a magnificent stallion in the exact same pose of the recently removed J.E.B Stuart monument originally located only a mile away. The statue takes its name from Wiley's Rumors of War series of paintings which depict African Americans in the style of regal european portraiture. The original phrase of "rumors of war" comes from the bible verse Matthew 24:6.
