So begins this beautiful 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, Ralphs youth was one of dress factories, ice deliveries, union meetings, and Mommas 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, Im Gonna Paint inspires to give a new generation the confidence to continue the fight for better working conditions.Anne Broyles taps into Ralphs indomitable spirit to show his evolution as an artist, while Victoria Tentler-Krylovs energetic art leaps off the page with wonder and homages to Ralphs 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.A Bank Street Best Childrens Book of the Year Author Biography Anne Broyles is a world traveler, vegan cook, hiker, art lover, avid reader, and childrens book author.
