Jazz Art

Whomever is an admirer of Jazz Art, come on in and express the real beauty of Jazz Art!


I've always found Jazz Art something of a spectacle, from the outrageous colors to the instruments and musicians, their bodies mangled into the oil, their instruments soaked in thousands upon thousands of lines and dots and circles.

Pop Art definitely has a place in history, much in the 1920's when Jazz Art first began, I believe in Harlem or New Orleans, where there are many examples of Jazz Art preserved on the walls of the cities. I know there must be a proper name to use for Jazz Art, if not Jazz Art, but still, the imagery of these paintings, in a smokey room while the saxist blooms out those tunes into your ears, the blue tinted lights hovering over him, everything just sets into the atmosphere.

One of my favorites is the work of David Stone Martin. His work really has the feeling of 1950's Jazz:

Chicago's Jazz scene occasionally appears in mural art
around town, or for advertizing purpose. Blue Chicago has
some fine art advertizement. Most jazz art I've caught on alb covers
or magazines does some partial justice to the music, but not nearly
enough.
