Pickup currently not available
This vibrant ready to hang canvas print titled 'Jazz Singer', created in 2001 by African American artist Antionette Simmons Hodges, captures the soulful energy and essence of jazz music through vivid color and expressive brushwork.
At the heart of this ready to hang canvas is a dynamic African American woman in a red polka-dot dress, belting out a powerful song. Her animated posture—with one hand raised high and the other gripping a microphone—embodies the passion and presence of legendary jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Supporting her are two purple silhouetted figures, offering instrumental backing. On the right, a cool jazz musician in sunglasses plays a horn, while another silhouette to the left hints at a fellow vocalist or instrumentalist. The vibrant orange background contrasted with deep purples creates a rhythmic, pulsating harmony—much like a live jazz performance—making this ready to hang canvas a showstopper.
With bold lines and stylized forms, Hodges evokes the improvisational spirit and emotional depth of jazz. The central singer, framed by her bandmates, speaks to the pivotal role of African American artists in defining and transforming this influential genre. Through this ready to hang canvas, Hodges celebrates the cultural legacy and creativity born from the Black experience.
Jazz, rooted in African American history, reflects both resilience and brilliance. 'Jazz Singer' honors that lineage—infusing each brushstroke with power, rhythm, and reverence. This ready to hang canvas makes a perfect centerpiece for any music lover, art enthusiast, or collector of Black cultural expression.
Crafted using archival-quality materials and giclée printing technology, this ready to hang canvas is designed to last for generations. No framing is needed—just unpack and display. Whether hung in a home, office, studio, or gallery, this ready to hang canvas adds a lively, sophisticated edge to any space.
Let this ready to hang canvas be a tribute to the voices and rhythms that shaped a genre—and to the artist who captured them with such flair.

Product Details & Legal Information
Canvas & Materials
Our stretched canvas prints are made with thick, archival-grade polyester canvas that is pH-neutral and acid-free—designed to resist yellowing over time. Each piece is printed using giclée technology to produce vivid, true-to-life colors with a semi-gloss finish. A protective coating guards against scratches, smudges, and fingerprints, helping preserve the artwork's beauty for over 100 years.
The canvas is hand-stretched over solid, warp-resistant wood stretcher bars with rounded, beveled edges and a depth of 1.25", giving it a clean, gallery-quality profile. A pre-installed sawtooth hanger on the back ensures your artwork is ready to hang right out of the box.
Care Instructions
To ensure the long-lasting quality of your framed stretched canvas print:
- Display indoors, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, air pollutants (like smoke), or extreme temperatures. These conditions may cause fading, warping, or mold over time.
- Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials, as they may damage the printed surface.
- Lighting may affect appearance: Colors may look different under various lighting conditions. Our prints are calibrated for D50 (5000K daylight) viewing.
- For minor imperfections, small nicks can often be touched up with waterproof felt-tip markers or artist-grade touch-up paint.
By following these guidelines, your canvas print will retain its beauty and vibrancy for years to come.
