Just a Nina Simone. Studio from a frame of Live at Montreux 1976 (if you've never seen it do yourself a favour and do it, it's an INCREDIBLE performance)

![American artist William Y. Cooper interprets with paint Nina Simone’s 1966 song “Four Women,” which names Black female archetypes shaped by slavery, racism, sexual violence, colorism, and generational pain. He transforms the lyrics into a vivid, musical structure of line and color. That approach fits the artist well as he was deeply inspired by music and rarely painted without it, while his broader practice joined African heritage and American experience through symbolism and metaphor.
Four stylized women fill the canvas, their bodies elongated and interlocked like a chorus. Cooper breaks their forms into angular planes of violet, indigo, orange, red, pink, and blue, so that skin, dress, and background pulse together. Their faces are masklike and expressive. Hands lift, torsos turn, and patterned fabrics ripple, creating a feeling of rhythm, motion, and emotional pressure.
Across their bodies, painted words identify Simone’s four victimized and overlooked Black women as Aunt Sarah, Saffronia, Sweet Thing, and Peaches.
- Aunt Sarah is strong with black skin, woolly hair, and a strong back that is “strong enough to take the pain … Inflicted again and again.”
- Saffronia is a product of sexual violence inflicted on her mother by her white father. Having yellow skin with long hair, she is caught between two worlds.
- Sweet Thing represents the Jezebel archetype, with tan skin and fine hair. Universally accepted because of the sexual gratification she provides, Simone sings, “Whose little girl am I? … Anyone who has money to buy.”
- Lastly, Peaches is described as brown skin, tough, and embittered “because [her] parents were slaves.” With her endures the generational trauma of oppression and racism.
By 1999, Cooper was a mature Buffalo artist, muralist, teacher, and self-described “Afrocentric artist,” using color to create rhythm and layered meaning. Here, beauty and critique coexist. The women are sensual, dignified, fractured, and resilient all at once.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dtli5s7b2qnvvqcgh74ruri5/bafkreigniv3o5nycxptua7t24cpkfxmq6h2swmhffbsu4a4ogvdy3csp4q)
