High-Stepping Josephine

Lot n° 38
31,8cmx49cm

In this highly abstracted form, Josephine Baker might not be immediately recognizable—but her vibrant energy resounds in Colin's use of bright colors and shading that reads as movement. "Colin continued to paint, sketch, and render Josephine Baker throughout his career... The images that Colin designed were a distillation of the movements and the abstracted figure that Baker herself created" (Josephine Baker: Image & Icon, p. 80).
