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!" (From the Publisher). LEC Bibliography. HBS 69356. $2,000.
