book, Immutable Truth. PM me your mailing address. Several DUers received this book from me.

I am just too old to shop my books around so I decided to give them away. Immutable Truth is a collection of the art essays I previously published here on DU.

The Gladdened Heart is fun to write. I am now writing the essay on Ernie Barnes' wonderful "Sugar Shack" which he transformed into the album cover for Marvin Gaye's "I Want You" album. So many artists loved doing musical themes! I finish with the great African American photographer who shot the memorable "Coltrane on Sax" and many, many others.

So glad that Faith Ringgold is getting her subway series the attention it deserves! I have yet to ride the Lenox Avenue subway in NYC to see them but will as soon as possible!
