Item Details
Description
[ART]. BARAKA, Amiri (1934-2014). Illustration of a musician.  

4 7/8 x 8 1/2 in. mixed media on paper (light creasing). Signed by Baraka in pencil.  

Best known for his poetry, Amiri Baraka's (also known as LeRoi Jones, Imamu Amear Baraka, and other variations) career spanned over five decades and explored themes of racism and black liberation. His visual arts were published in some of his books including The Book of Monk. The portrait here depicts a Black musician playing an upright bass wearing a chartreuse outfit and raspberry beret. Undated, the style bears resemblance to his portraits "Beautiful" and "Play On."
