This collection of drawings shows another side of Baez: lovingly loose and charming sketches on recurring themes such as politics, relationships, women, animals, and family. Each section, organized thematically, includes an introductory piece by the artist. Baez approaches her line drawings as exercises in freedom: she begins drawing upside down—often using her non-dominant hand—without any preconceived notion of where the lines might lead her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with her seminal debut album in 1960, Baez has been a musical force of nature of incalculable influence whose earliest recordings fed a host of traditional ballads into the rock vernacular. In 1963, she introduced Bob Dylan to the world, beginning a tradition of mutual mentoring that continued across her many recordings. As a lifetime advocate for non-violent social change, she marched on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King Jr., shined a spotlight on the Free Speech Movement, took to the fields with Cesar Chavez, organized resistance to the Vietnam War, and inspired Vaclav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAm I Pretty When I Fly?\u003c\/em\u003e reveals yet another side of a beloved icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362510160108,"sku":"9781567927542","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6496083482746.jpg?v=1772885964"},{"product_id":"when-you-see-my-mother-ask-her-to-dance-by-joan-baez-9781567928013","title":"When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn intimate, autobiographical poetry collection from legendary artist and activist, Joan Baez.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJoan Baez shares poems for or about her contemporaries, such as Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, and Jimi Hendrix; reflections from her childhood; personal thoughts; and cherished memories of her family, including pieces about her younger sister, singer-songwriter Mimi Faria.
