In 1955 New York, the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Yankees to win the World Series. A trumpet player named Miles Davis invited the tenor saxophonist John Coltrane to join a new quintet. And a group of poets and painters shrugged off the white gloved-propriety of Ozzie and Harriet's America to break new creative ground in verse and on canvas.
Among them was a pair of Brooklyn-born painters, students of the Abstract Expressionists Hans Hofmann and Mark Rothko. In 1955, they married. Selina Trieff and Robert Henry are still together. They're also still painting. They've created thousands of works and two children.
