About the Item
Cover illustration for A Woman's Place by Marita Golden (New York: Ballantine Books, 1986). 16.50" x 16.50" image on 19-inch square board, mounted to foam board.
This striking illustration was used on the cover of Marita Golden’s celebrated novel A Woman’s Place, published by Ballantine Books in 1986. Set against the backdrop of the transformative late 1960s, this story explores the enduring bond between three Black women who meet at a New England college. Faith, Crystal, and Serena navigate the complexities of race, gender, and familial expectations as they strive to define their own paths. Their enduring friendship serves as a vital source of support as they confront the challenges of their evolving lives and relationships. Originally published in 1986, the story provides a compelling look at the intersection of personal growth and social change.
James Barkley’s diverse illustration portfolio spans children's books, literary classics, advertising, and more. His artwork has graced the covers of books by esteemed authors such as Stephen King and James Baldwin, and his work has been featured in prominent publications, like National Geographic. A committed educator, Barkley has taught at Parsons School of Design and the University of Bridgeport, while also lecturing at institutions like the Pratt Institute and the Society of Illustrators. His broad range of commissions, from opera productions to album covers, underscore his remarkable artistic versatility.
