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.
