Illustrated in color and black/white. 118p. Charles Henry Spinky Alston was a black artist of the Harlem Renaissance. It was Spinky Alston who designed the album covers for jazz musician Duke Ellington and book covers for poet Langston Hughes. Born from a family of painters, he learned the art from his father. After his father passed, his mother remarried the uncle of artist Romare Bearden. In 1929, Alston served as director of the Utopia House, a boys camp in Harlem, where he started an art program.
