This series of
prints was created in an effort to reaffirm the great importance of an
indigenous art form called Jazz. Jazz -- a highly creative musical form based on personal improvisation -- has actually reshaped a universal approach to both music and dance. National recognition has been late in coming, although international recognition of this unique art form was established much earlier. The practitioners of this art have been shunted outside the mainstream of our society for many years and quite often have been visually depicted |
in grotesque caricature or
some equally demeaning posture. Because this artist believes that creative
art should always be accorded the dignity it so richly deserves, he has
attempted to portray that dignity while striving to make a universal
statement concerning Jazz. |
