Letters to the Great Dead: Two Days / Furnival, John., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-56636-10000035
Scope and Contents

The image was printed in outline letters by Bernie Moxham on an ink jet printer and then filled in with graphite by John Funival. Anita O'Day (October 18, 1919 "“ November 23, 2006) was an American jazz singer. Born Anita Belle Colton, O'Day was admired for her sense of rhythm and dynamics, and her early big band appearances shattered the traditional image of the "girl singer". Refusing to pander to any female stereotype, O'Day presented herself as a "hip" jazz musician, wearing a band jacket and skirt as opposed to an evening gown. She changed her surname from Colton to O'Day, pig Latin for "dough," slang for money. The inscription was written by Furnival on the verso of the print. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
