Davis, Miles. (1926–1991)
Signed Limited Edition “Amandla” Promotional Lithograph
Signed lithograph by the legendary jazz trumpeter, being a limited signed edition promotional poster for his 1989 Warner Bros. album Amandla. Miles signed 150 numbered copies of this poster to be used as promotional items, the present example numbered #92/150 and signed in silver ink, with Davis adding a single musical note to his name. The 17 x 35 inch poster has been framed to 26 x 43 inches overall and is in fine condition.Davis began drawing and painting in earnest in 1980, during a period of recovery from addiction and other health issues. While largely overshadowed by his music during his lifetime, Davis' visual art was used for the covers of the albums "Star People" and "Amandla", as well as the backdrops for several of his live performances, and has seen gallery showings around the world in the years since the musician''s death. Amandla was Davis's third and final collaboration with producer Marcus Miller and incorporates elements of go-go, funk, and swing jazz. (22253)
