This year marks the 100th anniversary of James Baldwin, an incredible writer and activist who fearlessly delved into the complexities of race, identity, love, and class. To celebrate Pride and the centenary, we teamed up with the talented @dtaphanel to create this incredible Tumblr artwork inspired by Baldwin’s first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain. Published back in 1953, Baldwin once said, “Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else." 

This is the second image in Danielle Taphanel’s series which captures a gripping wrestling scene from the book. It shows the intense face-off between Elisha, a respected teen in the church, and John, the troubled stepson of a preacher. It’s a scene filled with cruelty, curiosity, confusion, and even a hint of pleasure. Taphanel’s artwork, done in the style of ancient Greek classical wrestling called Pankration, brings this moment to life. 

Made for Tumblr, the art is not featured on any edition of the book.

This month, in celebration of Pride and James Baldwin’s crucial contributions to queer literature, we commissioned digital artist Danielle Taphanel, @dtaphanel, to create a Tumblr-only, reimagined cover for Baldwin’s debut novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, one of America’s greatest classics.

Danielle Taphanel, a self-taught, disabled, non-binary, first-generation Filipino-Latino artist who loves plants and folklore, delicately captures the mosaic of themes presented in a book titled after a beloved Black American spiritual song of the same name.

This year marks 100 years of James Baldwin, an iconic writer and activist whose work explores the complexities of race, identity, love, and class with searing foresight. The digital-only artwork was made exclusively for Tumblr and is not featured on any purchasable edition.
