Mischief Makers Portraits by Joan Baez
at Sonoma State University's Weill Hall
by Daniel Rohlfing |
On Sunday, Sept. 15, Ytzhak Perlman performed a program with works by Ludwig Von Beethoven, Cesar Franck and Antonin Dvorak at Sonoma State University's Weill Hall. But Linda Sorensen and I were in for a surprise. Walking to our balcony seats, we encountered in the upstairs hallway a series of striking portraits by Joan Baez.
These portraits, which Joan Baez calls "Mischief Makers," were recently donated to Sonoma State University by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, commemorating the University's long-standing commitment to civil rights and social justice.
In response to the division in present day American politics and society, Joan chose to paint portraits of people, most of whom she knew, who were willing to make a difference, often accepting suffering but never inflicting it.
|
As a young artist, Joan has been in the front lines of many nonviolent movements, adding her voice to the causes of civil rights and social justice. She walked arm in arm with Martin Luther King, was thrown in jail protesting the Vietnam War, and helped Vaclav Havel spark a revolution in Prague.
Joan says these Mischief Makers portraits "emerged from the storm of corruption that followed the most recent change of high office in this country. In an attempt to confront the collapse and disintegration of morality being played out for us day to day, I painted portraits of people most of whom I have known personally, who, with tenacity, courage, intelligence, risk taking and resilience have made another kind of social change. Through direct action and a willingness to accept suffering, but never to inflict it, they have confronted pernicious bodies of power ... All have rejected violence as their means to an end."
Below are photos of these Mischief Makers, accompanied by excerpts from the exhibition placards written by Marin County writer Paul Liberatore with quotations from Joan. Paul Liberatore's wife Donna is a partner of the Seager Gray Gallery, and helped Joan Baez exhibit and promote these portraits. The photos in this article were taken at Weill Hall and contain reflections of lights and paintings on the opposite wall with ghostly images of concert goers viewing the exhibition.

Self Portrait, Joan Baez, 2017 |
Self Portrait, Joan Baez, 2017
In 1969, Joan was photographed by Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002), an Armenia-Canadian photographer whose photo portraits of notable people ranks him among the greatest portrait photographers of the 20th century.
When he photographed Joan, she was living at Struggle Mountain, a compound in the Los Altos Hills that was a haven for draft resisters. Her husband David Harris was arrested there by federal marshals and carted off to prison to begin serving a three-year sentence for draft evasion, leaving behind Joan who was pregnant with their son, Gabe.
"Three or four guys from the Resistance were living there on the property," she recalls. "A lot of this was around the Center for Nonviolence. It was all very political."
She had cut her famously long black hair into a more utilitarian bob, a style that horrified the stuffy, buttoned-down Karsh when he arrived at their mountain retreat. "He was aghast," she recalls with a giggle. "I don't know how he pulled himself together."
In this portrait, Joan, using Karsh's photograph, painted herself with her face in her hands, only this time with her long black hair flowing over her shoulders like the folk madonna Karsh had envisioned. "I gave myself my hair back," she says with a grin.

Maya Angelou, Joan Baez, 2017
"And Still I Rise"
"All the time I was painting I was listening to her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, on audio books," Joan says. "Her writing is beautiful, her speaking voice is wonderful. It's the story of a child, the daughter of sharecroppers who got raped when she was eight. She didn't speak for five years, but during that time she read everything she could get her hands on. She's an amazing woman."
Joan painted Maya as a young girl, her hair in pigtails with an unsmiling face. Her eyes look directly at the viewer, filled with unflinching intelligence and resolve.
Like Malcom X, Maya rejected black nationalism, believing instead that black and white people must
|
Maya Angelou, Joan Baez, 2017
|
work together in achieving equality and positive change. Maya said, "Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air -- we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it."
|
Ram Dass, Joan Baez, 2017
Ram Dass is an American spiritual teacher and clinical psychologist known for his association with Timothy Leary at Harvard University. In the early 1960's, he traveled to India to study with Neem Karoli Baba, a Hindu guru. He helped found SEVA Foundation in Berkeley, California. SEVA is active internatinally, and works to prevent and treat blindness and other visual imparments. The word Seva (say-va) is Sanskrit, meaning self-less service. The compassion that drives Seva's work starts with the realization that we are all connected as one global community.
In the Spring of 2017, Joan, Jackson Brown, Wavy Gravy and Kris Kristofferson performed a concert in honor of Ram Dass at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. The event raised $150,000 for SEVA's sight saving programs.
"When I saw him, I thought, 'This guy's enlightened.' He glows, he just glows with an enlightened twinkle.
|
Ram Dass, Joan Baez, 2017 |
He can't even turn himself over in bed anymore, and he knows he's dying. I asked him, 'Do you have pain?' He said, "Lots." I said, 'How is that for you?' He told me this whole thing about how the mind does this and his body does that. And then he said, 'And then I love it.' I just sat and cried and held his hand."
|
Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, 2017
"His was the easiest portrait I've ever painted," Joan says. "He's so frigging handsome. His face is so smooth. Its like a setup. Belafonte was "the King of Calypso" in the 1950's and '60's, famous for his Banana Boat Song with its signature, "Day-O." Joan first heard his records when she was 16, in high school, when the family was living in Redlands, California, while her father taught physics at the university there.
"He was the first singer I heard in folk music, before Pete Seeger and Odetta," she says. "I couldn't know at that age that we would end up marching with Dr. King and that he would become a close friend of mom's. Joan's mother, often referred to as Joan Sr., had a special place in her heart for Belafonte, an early supporter of Dr. King's and one of his confidants.
|
Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, 2017 |
She swooned whenever she was around him and kept his signed picture beside her bed.
But he was an even closer friend of Joan's. When he met her son Gabe, who was still in his teens, he took Gabe's hand and said, "If I'd played my cards right, you'd be MY son. "We had a little thing," Joan admits. "I always just took it as a compliment that it came to his mind."
|
Marilyn Youngbird, Joan Baez, 2017
Marilyn Youngbird's tribal name is "Chief Woman Among Chiefs." She is a member of the Arikara and Hidatsa nations. She has been one of Joan's spiritual guides and a friend for many years. Marilyn is a teacher and has introduced people all over the world to Native American philosophy and medicine.
Joan painted Marilyn's portrait from a photo taken during the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Members of 200 tribes attended the protest against this ecologically treacherous project. Joan writes, "Marilyn was accustomed to the weather in North Dakota, and bundled herself into two sleeping bags. She was concerned for my comfort. 'Oh, I'll be fine,' I said in my one sleeping bag. I not only froze, but periodically slid off my little mat onto the dirt floor of the teepee. It wasn't even winter ... "
When Joan's sister, Mimi Farina, was ill with cancer, Marilyn led sweat lodges and was there, supporting Joan and her family after Mimi died in 2001.
|
Marilyn Youngbird, Joan Baez, 2017 |
Joan has always referred to Marilyn as her sister, and while she was in North Dakota, she was adopted into Marilyn's tribe in a ceremony at the Arikara Cultural Center. At the ceremony, Joan was given an Arikara tribal name which couldn't have been more appropriate, Sacred Voice Eagle Woman.
|
David Harris, Joan Baez, 2017 |
David Harris, Joan Baez, 2017
While the hippie movement was flowering in the LSD- soaked Haight Ashbury in 1967, the Summer of Love, Joan was protesting the war in Vietnam, getting arrested - along with her mother, Joan Sr., and younger sister, Mimi Farina - at a Bay Area anti-war demonstration and spending time in Alameda County's Santa Rita Jail.
Her husband at the time, David Harris, the father of her son Gabe, paid an even higher price for standing up against an unjust war, serving 20 months in federal prisons. Harris was voted "Boy of the Year" at Fresno High School in 1963 and went on to become student body president at Stanford University.
He had the resources to get out of the draft if he had wanted to take an easy way out. But rather than flee to Canada as some draft resisters were doing, or come up with some phony medical condition that would get him rejected as 4-F, he and some other courageous draft protesters founded the Resistance, an organization that encouraged young men of draft age to refuse to cooperate with the Selective Service System, to return or burn their draft cards and refuse to be inducted. By banding together, they hoped to help bring about an end to the war. When Harris failed to report for duty, he was charged with draft evasion, a federal felony.
"The day we awaited his arrest, the house was filled
|
with draft resisters and other anti-war activists," Joan remembers. "When the sheriffs arrived they were invited in for coffee. They refused, put David in handcuffs and we all cheered as they put him in the car." As the sheriff's car drove off, one of the anti-war mischief makers stuck a bumper sticker over the license plate. It said, "Resist the Draft."
After being released on parole in 1970, Davis said, "In prison, I lost my ideals, but not my principles."

Martin Luther King Jr., Joan Baez, 2014 |
Martin Luther King: Joan Baez, 2014
MLK Jr. had Joan's number. "They say he used to prolong his speeches about non-violence when I was there because he loved to see me cry," Joan says, then imitates his stenorian voice, "Every time I say nonviolence, I know Joan Baez is going to be in tears."
She once joined him and other civil rights leaders for a march in Granada, Mississippi. He had come in late on the plane and went to take a nap in a bedroom of the home he was staying in. When he hadn't gotten up and it was getting later and later, Joan was sent in to see if she could rouse him. In her silvery soprano, she sang, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."
"He just rolled over and said, 'I think I hear the sound of an angel," she recalls. "Then he said, 'Let's have another one, Joan. And he went back to sleep. It was very funny."
On another occasion, Joan was invited to ride along with Jesse Jackson and Andrew Young when they drove to pick Rev. King up at the airport for a Southern Christian Leadership Conference meeting and march the next day. "I was excited to hear how they would plan the march," Joan remembers. "Instead, they told off-color jokes from the airport back to the conference.
|
That evening I told Andy (Young) that I was surprised and disappointed, saying I thought I was going to hear how they planned a march. Andy just smiled and said, 'You did.'"
|
Joan Baez: Ferocity, Joan Baez, 2017
In 1965 when Joan was 24 years old, Joan sat for a photo portrait with photographer Richard Avedon in his New York Studio. Joan described the scene, "Avedon has a fan blowing her long black hair, but it's hardly a glamour shot."
"I look as if I was in a really bad mood," she says. "I never liked this photograph."
She chose it because of the fierce strength and resolve that shows in her face, a determination to get through the emotional difficulties that plagued her personally at a turbulent time for her and the country in the mid 1960's.
The March on Washington with Martin Luther King in 1963 was behind her by then. She recognized the shiny red raincoat in the photo as the one she wore during anti-Vietnam War rallies in Trafalgar Square in London.
"This was in the heat of everything, right in the middle of it," she recalls.
On a personal level, she was dealing with Bob Dylan. "Which may be part of the reason my face looks the way it does," she says with a laugh. The inner turmoil she was going through is reflected in the rough technique she used in the pale blue background of the painting.
|
Joan Baez: Ferocity, Joan Baez, 2017 |
"It was a scrambled time for me in my life," she says, "so I just started layering the paint and medium (goo) on the background and hashing and slashing away at it until the chaos calmed in my brain and hands."
Joan could have chosen a prettier picture for this self portrait, a gift to the Graton Tribal Council. But the beauty in this one is the strength and resilience it portrays.

Linda Sorensen can be found in Studio #5 on the ground floor, south end of the long building, next to Susan Proehl and across from Monty Monty. Her studio shares an exterior brick wall with the ramp-and-gate large south entrance to the building, an excellent position to hear the musical groups that set up in that entrance. Her very large painting of Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, hangs in the entrance hall.
As in past years for Art Trails and Art@The Source, and last year's Atelier One event, representational landscapes with strong abstract design and glorious color figure prominently. Recent additions include paintings of Death Valley and new local seascapes and vineyards. Also offered are four different giclee prints of her popular paintings, prepared by photographer Harvey Mendelson whose Red Shoes Gallery is at the Sixth Street Playhouse.
Linda is represented by the Art Trails Gallery at Corrick's in Santa Rosa, and the Bodega Landmark Studio Gallery of photographer Lorenzo DeSantis in inland Bodega. Lorenzo will be winding up his gallery business there in October, so don't put off visiting. Linda will be shown at Graton Gallery in late December and most of January, so look out for the December 21 reception's announcement. Her alumni magazine for Berkeley Law will soon publish an article about her artistic career.
