Look up to Black pride

We're continuing our celebration of Black History Month with a glimpse of a public art installation in Moynihan Train Hall in New York City's Penn Station. As you rush to catch your commuter train in the station, pause to look up and then contemplate Kehinde Wiley's triptych called 'Go.' The ceiling fresco—a mix of stained glass, hand-painted detail, and LED lighting—recalls artwork from the Italian Renaissance, with vibrant blue skies and heavenly clouds. But in Wiley's interpretation, the religious figures common in such works are replaced by Black Americans in modern-day clothing—seemingly weightless in the air, in poses reminiscent of breakdancing moves.
