"Red, White & Blues — Nina Simone" is the Nina Simone art print that gives one of the most uncompromising voices in American music the visual tribute she deserves—Antionette Simmons Hodges paints Simone in the saturated reds and blues of the American flag she both claimed and challenged, honoring the full complexity of a woman who was simultaneously the country's proudest cultural achievement and its sharpest critic. This is Black history art that does not simplify.

Hodges brings to Nina Simone the same layered attentiveness she gives to every subject she loves. Simone's image is rendered with warmth and force—the set of her jaw, the intelligence in her eyes, the dignity that she carried through decades of performance, activism, and exile. The composition connects her to a long tradition of American artistic portraiture while insisting on her singularity: there was nobody like Nina Simone, and there has been nobody since. Hodges understands this and paints accordingly.

Simone's music lives in a space between jazz, blues, gospel, classical, and soul that defies categorization—and Hodges honors that refusal to fit by painting a portrait that is simultaneously intimate and monumental. Hang "Red, White & Blues — Nina Simone" in a music room, living room, studio, or any space where the best of American culture should be celebrated. An inspired gift for music lovers, educators, activists, and anyone who understands Nina Simone's lasting importance—for birthdays, graduations, and meaningful occasions.

This archival-quality giclée print is produced on premium cotton rag paper with museum-grade inks that preserve the depth and richness of Hodges's palette. Available in sizes from 9×7" to 19×15", with select sizes featuring an optional ½" white margin for easy framing.

Antionette Simmons Hodges honors the cultural icons who shaped Black and American life with equal parts love and rigor—bring "Red, White & Blues — Nina Simone" home and let her voice fill the room.

Product Details & Legal Information

We use Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper, a 100% cotton, acid-free, archival-quality paper with a soft, textured surface. This museum-grade paper is engineered to resist fading and deterioration, making it ideal for lasting fine art prints.

Each print is produced using archival giclée ink, a pigment-based ink system known for its superior longevity, depth, and color accuracy. Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) printing is the gold standard in fine art reproduction, offering exceptional detail and dynamic range. The result is a vibrant, durable image that honors the integrity of the original artwork—perfect for collectors and admirers of quality.

To ensure the longevity of your fine art print, keep it out of direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. For optimal preservation, consider framing the print using UV-protective glass and archival materials. Store and display it in a cool, dry environment to prevent humidity-related damage. Always handle your print with clean, dry hands to avoid smudges or oils transferring to the paper. Avoid spraying any cleaning solutions or moisture directly onto the print surface. With proper care, your archival-quality print will retain its color, clarity, and impact for generations.

Prints that are 8×10 inches or smaller are shipped flat in sturdy cardboard stay-flat envelopes. Larger prints are carefully rolled and packaged in kraft mailing tubes to ensure safe delivery. Every order includes a tracking number so you can follow your print’s journey to your door. We take great care in packaging to preserve the quality of your artwork in transit.

All of our prints are made to order with great care to ensure exceptional quality. As a result, all sales are final. We do not offer cancellations, refunds, or exchanges. Please review your order carefully before completing your purchase.
