Beschreibung

Mother to Son , The Weary Blues , Dream Variation , Daybreak in Alabama and I, Too . From these glorious poems it is easy for us to see why Langston Hughes is so beloved and admired. As is Phoebe Beasley, the painter chosen by Dr. Maya Angelou to illustrate these poems with her six colorful silkscreen prints. Phoebe Beasley is the only artist whose work has twice been awarded the Presidential Seal (Bush and Clinton). Her silkscreen prints express the love and humor that come out of Black family life in compositions that range from wit to subtle beauty and tenderness, at times, reflecting the influence of Picasso, Lawrence and Bearden. Dr. Angelou not only selected the poems and the artist, she also wrote the illuminating Introduction and the Afterword! Six color silkscreen prints by Phoebe Beasley. Introduction and Afterword by Maya Angelou. Edition limited to 300 numbered copies. Each book signed by Maya Angelou and Phoebe Beasley.
