……………”THE WRITTEN WORD”…….The explanations of what the exhibit was about gave a great understanding of what you were about to see……The illustration at the top truly gives the viewer a context for what the word “JOOK” meant…..This was a term unfamiliar to me, and the written definition enabled me to fully understand what I was seeing…….JOSEPHINE BAKER, bottom photo, the incredible entertainer, left America and lived in Paris in the 20s where she was judged on her talent alone! and not by the color of her skin. She was a sensation, and lived a remarkable life! She sometimes wore a men’s tuxedo which was the epitome of ANDROGYNOUS style! which many actresses wore…both black and white….a la Marlena Dietrich.
