1. find a clear defination of Intertextuality
According to Chandler, D. (2003) Intertextuality:" Intertextuality refers to the way that any one text (written or visual ) is influenced, or made up of a variety of other earlier texts."
2. research Wiley's work and write a paragraph that analyzes how we might make sense of his work. Identify intertextuality in Wiley's work.
Wiley's painting style has been compared to so many traditional portraitists like Reynolds, Gainsborough. Wiley's work reference specific paintings by Titian and Tiepolo, but he incorporates rang of art historical and vernacular styles from French Rococo to the comtemporary urban street. It is the intertextuality in Wiley's painting. Thereby he creats his own style which based on photographs of young men from streets.
3. Wiley's work relates to "Pluralism", find out how the work relates to it
It is generally believed that during modernity just European (white), male and middle class visual art was therefore prioritised in the art gallery or in the art history book. In Wiley's work only have male figures appeared, he must followed this rule somehow. Also according to Cadwell, B. (1999) Cutural context:
" Pluralism in art refers to the nature of artforms and artists as diverse. The cultural context of art is all encompassing in its respect for the art of the world's cultures. Inclusion of individuals of differing ethnicities, genders, ideologies, abilities, ages, religions, economic status and educational levels is valued."
Wiley himself is an African American and he has used African American male to pain, so pluralistic feature emerged.

western world in general conforms to the beliefs or philosophies of materialism, capitalism and humanism which has so many pros and cons. Definitely Wiley uses his painting support pluralism which also have obverses and reverses, he put these contradictory concepts in each paiting, using traditional way of oil painting to represent hierarchies, colonisation, globalisation and politics. In another side, Wiley challenged religion which use a humorous fundamental, this acquirs the connection of humanism, or say as western worldview.
5. add some reflective comments of your own, which may add more inforemation that you have read during your research
Be an artist Wiley not just use traditional oil painting do portraits, add large, vibrant, highly colorful pattens, also he develops his own style, hip pop street fashion which can slice of nowadays urban amarican life. The treatrical poses and objects appeared in his works from seventeenth through nineteenth century western art, but he gives the authority of those historical sitters to twenty-first century, which is dramatic and fabulous.
