The book was good and I enjoyed the addition of the wife being a doll maker and you see how doll making is part of her life.

Book Reading- An American Marriage
I belong to a book club. One of the selections was "An American Marriage" by Tayari Jones. This is a story about a husband and wife's marriage and how it is changed because of one night. The wife in the book is a doll maker. She likes to create cloth artistic dolls.
The book was good and I enjoyed the addition of the wife being a doll maker and you see how doll making is part of her life.

Jean Michel Basquiat Barbie
Jean Michel Basquiat Barbie
When I first heard about this doll, I was excited. I always like getting male dolls. I could add him to my collection. It was not until I saw the pictures that I realized that it was an interpretation of the female barbie doll representing Jean Michel Basquiat's Art.
The Box reads: " During the 1980's, as the art movement known as neo-expression gained traction, a young street artist from Brooklyn, NY emerged. Barbie celebrates the influential work of Jean-Michel Basquiat. His frenetic paintings are an infusion of graphic poetry, cultural dichotomies, and compelling social statements. Basquiat played an essential role in elevating graffiti art from the underground to gaining well-deserved acclaim in the upper echelons of the art world."
The fabric on Barbie shows his various artworks in a wonderful pants suit. The crown on her head represents his signature in his paintings showing intellect.
At an auction in 2017, one his paintings sold for 110.5 million dollars.
Barbie appears with Basquiat. Basquiat was created by Medicom in the Real Life Heroes series years ago.
