The edges were cut into strips and laced black onto the print, capturing the improvised spirit of jazz music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003cem\u003e—From Brandywine Workshop and Archives records\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSam Gilliam worked in many mediums, including sculpture, painting, and printmaking.
