The Creators of the Aesthetic Signature Series, W. Calvin Anderson and Kelvin De'Marcus Allen hope to bring ongoing attention to the significant contributions made by artists and thinkers featured in this series. These individuals have provided American culture and mankind with a personal characteristic and worldview that sustains us and provides hope for new generations.

Hard work, integrity, caring for humanity and speaking through art and performance are the trademark attributes of these individuals.

We do not live in a perfect world. People of all walks of life are born with different constraints. Some of the biographies will represent people who came from poor backgrounds and some from affluent ones, but all are defined by their courage to make a difference and by the way that they chose to create new inroads in history through artforms that clarify our collective purpose and genius.

We must consider that our creator has a master plan and that we also share this earth with people capable of articulating it. History is plagued with violence, destruction and hopelessness. People in this series articulate the creative and the beautiful while also telling the truth about living. They save us from giving power and life to the many ills that out shine the gumption and beauty of ordinary people.

This series is ongoing. It is presently introductory. As time passes we will probe as many links as we can find in the lives of the selected artist and thinkers. You are welcome to comment and share with us.
