Josephine Baker - painted sky and matooke leaves - original and fine art prints

from £100.00

Josephine Baker danced topless in an iconic banana skirt proudly flaunting her African heritage on the world stage. Instead of drawing her on stage, I envisaged her back home on continent of Africa, cavorting under the night sky floating in lush green matooke (banana) leaves. Her confidence is so attractive.
