The image stuck with her for years. Eventually it became this painting: Black dandyism as fine art, brotherhood as portraiture, style as power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrylic on canvas, 24\"H × 36\"W\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Print Available\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original \"Four Guys\" is also available as a fine art print, canvas print, framed print, and framed canvas at artbyashodges.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11oz glossy ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuseum-quality wraparound print — vivid and lasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead- and BPA-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eArt Is Power Vol. I is a wearable archive — a collection honoring the artists, warriors, and thinkers who shaped Black creative life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntionette Simmons Hodges is a celebrated artist whose vibrant, culturally rich work draws from rural life, jazz, and family.
