A victim of racism throughout her life, Josephine Baker would sing of love and liberty until the day she died

Josephine Baker by Jose-Luis Bocquet, Catel Muller (Illustrator) SelfMadeHero 2017, 496 pages, 6.7 x 2.0 x 9.4 inches, Paperback $16 Buy on Amazon

Josephine Baker, the graphic novel biography, is so thorough and so thoroughly good. I knew almost nothing about the artist’s life and did not grasp the seemingly non-stop trajectory and reach of her career before reading this. Baker’s confidence and poise in the face of rampant personal and institutional racism, her deep and joyful affection for her animals and her friends, and her unrelenting devotion to her family and her adopted country are narrated in nearly 500 pages of vividly matter-of-fact black and white.

After the story, there’s still more. It doesn’t feel right to simply call the appendices in this book “further reading.” The Timeline of Baker’s life and Biographical Notes character sketches are incredibly comprehensive, the former giving clarity and the latter giving context to the fullness of the artist’s life and the scope of her career. This biography is beautifully executed, with art and text that are so on-point, the only person you see is Josephine.

SAY IT with SHAPES

Shapes within a composition tells you a lot of things. Variety of shapes within the composition usually says – dynamic and fun, complementary, unique, energetic, interesting. On the contrary, same shapes within the composition usually says – stability, static, alike, immovable, equal.

Both are good, it depends what you want to say. Also, we want to thank you for your support for Tuesday Tips. We are currently sold out; however, Center Stage Gallery still has a few left and they also ship internationally. Thank you again! And happy Tuesday!!!! XO, Griz
