‘An Artist’s Duty, as Far’ — Nina Simone Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“An artist’s duty, as far as I’m concerned, is to reflect the times.” Nina Simone said this in a television interview in the late 1960s, at the peak of her civil-rights years — the era of “Mississippi Goddam” and the Birmingham church bombing. She meant it as a challenge rather than a platitude: with Black Americans fighting for survival, she held that an artist who stays neutral has abandoned the job.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
