Ralph always took the dare. So begins this loving tribute to a singular artist and his tireless efforts to honor and celebrate immigrant and working-class communities through his paintings.Born in 1914 New York City to Italian immigrants, Ralph&’s youth was one of dress factories, ice deliveries, union meetings, and Momma&’s stories of the Bread & Roses Strike around the dinner table. By teaching himself how to paint, Ralph discovered a new way to reach working people: he would depict their lives, their work, and American history with electric color at a grand scale.Focusing on themes of social justice, immigrant rights, labor rights, and the dignity of working people, I&’m Gonna Paint inspires to give a new generation the confidence to continue the fight for better working conditions.Anne Broyles taps into Ralph's indomitable spirit to show his evolution as an artist, while Victoria Tentler-Krylov&’s energetic art leaps off the page with wonder and homages to Ralph&’s style. Meticulously researched with quotes from Ralph to underline his philosophy and approach to artmaking, the robust back matter includes reproductions of his paintings, historical photos, a timeline, a bibliography, a source notes, and much more.The Beatles: A Little Golden Book Biography (Little Golden Book)
