FROM ART-PAGE DESCRIPTION
The great Aretha Franklin had been very much on my mind ever since first learning almost a decade ago (in 2010) that she was battling pancreatic cancer, said to kill about 44,300 people every year. This art print dedicated to Franklin had been in the works for some weeks and developed as a tribute to her while listening for hours to her jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel, pop, and soul music spanning decades. The more I listened to her music and simultaneously worked on the art, the more I saw it as a representation of her life's journey and the many lives she touched while undertaking it.
I have my own interpretations of how the different-colored angled lines stretching into the distance, the flowering grass on the left side of the print, and the triangle of light on the right represent various aspects of Franklin's life and her role in world history. However, I will leave it to viewers to provide their own interpretations to how these might apply not only to Aretha's Franklin's life but possibly to their own.
