Portrait of the Artist

A traditional black and white drawing of a cartoonist drawing at a drafting table with green spot colors and screentones. Text at the top of the page reads: "Meanwhile..." There is a cartoon dog that thinks "Apparently, it's hard to cartoon when you can barely get out of bed." The artist has a speech bubble that reads "Ah Damn"

You can argue that an Adam and Eve cosplay is minimalist, perhaps too much 😅

“Jazz Dancers” by Aldonia R. Bailey (American) - Acrylic on canvas / Possibly 1974 - San Bernardino County Museum (Redlands, California) #WomenInArt #AldoniaBailey #Bailey #BlackArt #AfricanAmericanArt #JazzArt #DanceInArt #BlackRenaissance #art #artText #arte #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists

American artist Aldonia Bailey described “Jazz Dancers” as showing dancers “swaying to the music” while people enjoy jazz in Central Park. Rather than isolate a single performer, she makes collective movement the painting’s subject as six women seem linked by an invisible beat, their repeating postures carrying the eye across the canvas like notes in a melodic line. Bailey’s saturated color, simplified forms, and energetic brushwork privilege atmosphere and memory over strict realism.

The six Black women sweep diagonally across a vivid green lawn, their bodies leaning backward and sideways as though caught in the same musical phrase. Bailey dresses them in long, brilliantly patterned pink, blue, yellow-green, orange, and deep red skirts paired with pale sleeveless tops, jewelry, and hair ornaments. Their elongated poses turn movement into rhythm so arms bend, shoulders tilt, and skirts flare as the dancers sway together. Behind them, small pavilions painted in pink, blue, and white punctuate a park filled with loosely rendered figures. Tall palms and dense trees frame a glowing yellow-orange sky, giving the scene the warmth and bustle of an outdoor summer festival.

This is jazz experienced through motion, community, and pleasure. The work also participates in a long tradition of Black artists representing music and dance as spaces of creativity, social connection, and cultural continuity. Bailey, a Louisiana-born artist long active in Southern California, has repeatedly returned to jazz, dancers, family, and Black everyday life throughout her practice. Her inscription appears to date the painting to 1974, which would make it an unusually early work in her career. The painting appeared in the San Bernardino County Museum’s 2026 exhibition Black Renaissance, where its exuberant celebration of Black music, movement, and communal life resonated with the exhibition’s dialogue between the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance and contemporary Black creativity.

Repost: “In the segregated South, circles were marked on the bottoms of glasses so white people would never have to drink from them. Howardena Pindell put that memory into her practice.

Art of my OC Safa, dressed in a purple top and greenish skirt, looking back warily. A target centers on her eye, which glows na unusual orange. A spiral of foliage surrrounds her. This is a representation of her clairvoyance thta allows her to see things often after they happen, or before they happen without her being able to change the outcome.

I used the fibbonacci sequence and the rule of thirds to compose this piece.
