Collection
The Eye of Jazz
Six photographs from the golden age of American jazz, seen through one pair of eyes.
Between 1938 and 1948, William P. Gottlieb made the portraits that fixed how we picture jazz — Holiday and her flowers, Armstrong and his handkerchief, Monk at Minton's the night bebop was being born. He shot them in clubs and dressing rooms, off the clock, then placed every negative in the public domain through the Library of Congress. We print them on fine art paper, each with its museum caption, so the room they were made in can hang in yours.
