About the artist
Josephine Baker
Josephine Baker: The Jazz-Era Queen of Paris In the smoky cabarets of Paris in the roaring 20s, one name shone brighter than the rest: Josephine Baker. With her infectious energy, captivating stage presence, and iconic banana skirt, Baker quickly became the toast of the town and a symbol of the era's liberation and decadence. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Baker's journey to stardom was anything but traditional. After a difficult childhood marked by poverty and segregation, she found her calling in the world of entertainment. Baker's rise to fame was swift, and by the age of 19, she was headlining at the Folies Bergère, capturing the hearts of audiences with her signature blend of jazz, comedy, and dance. But Baker was more than just a performer—she was a trailblazer. As one of the first African-American women to achieve international fame, she used her platform to advocate for civil rights and challenge societal norms. Whether she was dancing on stage or fighting for equality off it, Baker's boldness and charisma knew no bounds. Today, Josephine Baker remains a cultural icon and a testament to the power of art to inspire change. Her influence can be felt in the work of countless artists who continue to push boundaries and challenge conventions. So next time you're feeling a little lacklustre, put on some Josephine Baker and let her infectious spirit sweep you off your feet.
