Description
DANNY SIMMONS (1953 - )
My Crazy Red Rooster.

Oil on digital inkjet print, 2021. 559x460 mm; 22x16 inches, full margins. Edition of 25. Signed by the artist and poet Sonia Sanchez and dated in ink, lower margin.

My Crazy Red Rooster is a mural that brings together the creative genius of two Philadelphia icons: neo-African Abstract Expressionist painter and poet Danny Simmons and celebrated Black Arts Movement poet Sonia Sanchez. Ms. Sanchez selected one of three works created by Danny Simmons, entitled The Red Rooster, to inspire her to create an original haiku to accompany it on the mural wall. The mural was painted by Efrain Herrera with assistance from Darya Prudnikova.

The haiku in the mural reads:

faces

brown,

black, white

Conjugating

peace

In a sea of red
