Josephine Baker

Josephine Baker (1906–1975) was far more than a celebrated dancer and singer: she was an iconic figure of the 20th century. As an African-American artist, she became a star in France and shaped the stages of Parisian nightlife with her unmistakable energy, grace, and fearless eccentricity.

Josephine Baker, portrayed in this work, combines cubist fragmentation with stylistic clarity—a visual homage to her unconventional spirit. Her face appears like a mosaic of movement, history, and vision. Behind the geometric lines lies the gaze of a woman who crossed boundaries: as a resistance fighter in World War II, as a civil rights activist in the USA, and as the adoptive mother of her "rainbow family."

This depiction reminds us that true beauty lies not only in expression, but in courage – to live, love and change courageously.
