By François Leroy
Barkley Hendricks (b. 1945)
Noir, 1978.
Oil and acrylic on canvas; 72 x 48 inches.
Hendricks is included in the Brooklyn Museum exhibition “Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties,” which examines how 66 artists addressed the civil rights struggle in their work.
Cool, empowering and sometimes confrontational, Hendricks’s artistic privileging of a culturally complex black body has paved the way for today’s younger generation of artists. His portraiture works infuses a certain romanticism into realistic depictions of contemporary black people. Dignified and fashionable, his subjects aren’t generic types but recognizable human beings.
1. Lawdy Mama (1969) embodies the “black is beautiful” mantra by conferring the awe and reverence once accorded Christian altarpieces on the figure of a beautiful woman crowned with a large, halo-like Afro. Inspired by gilded Greek and Russian icons as well as Renaissance altarpieces he encountered during a 1966 trip to Europe, Hendricks applied metallic gold leaf to a shaped canvas, effectively enshrining his subject.
9. Icon for My Man Superman (Superman never saved any black people—Bobby Seale), 1969.
The scarf belt?
the wide brim hat?
Incognegro shades?
Barkley L Hendricks obviously had me in mind when he painted this.

ZX FLUX XENOPELTIS SNAKE REFLECTIVE
During my course at Pensole Academy for the Adidas “Earn Your Stripes” program, I got a chance to schedule some trends meetings with the good people at Adidas Headquarters in Portland. I stopped by originals and ran into this fella!
Now snakes and I don’t get along…but I told Josh, a creative designer over at Adidas Originals. “I FLUX WITH THESE”
Adidas has been killing with unlimited ZX Flux flavors and with these…I may have to take a bite into my budget with out Eve asking me to!
By the way watch out for that Fishscale EQT…what up Push Ton!
