Born Eleanora Fagan in Philadelphia in 1915, she became one of the most emotionally precise voices in American music history, and one of the most surveilled, persecuted, and misunderstood artists of the 20th century. The FBI kept a file on her. The government used drug laws to silence her. She died at 44, under arrest in a hospital bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntionette Simmons Hodges painted her the way she deserved to be seen — through a cut-and-paste ransom-note collage aesthetic, bold typography, and painterly blue tones that feel like a record sleeve from another era.
