Hugh Bell "Jazz"
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Soho Photo Gallery presents legendary photographer Hugh Bell as May’s guest exhibitor. His solo show, entitled "Jazz", features some of his best known work including his 1952 photo “Hot Jazz” which was selected by Edward Steichen for the historic The Family of Man exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in 1954; it became the impetus for Bell’s long career as a photographer of jazz musicians. Included in his exhibition are 16 x 20 inch portraits of Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Lester Young, Brew Moore and Bobby Timmons. Bell is also known for his “Jazz Giants” series, approximately 20 photographs of intimate and revealing moments of jazz greats such as Billie Holiday, Thelonius Monk, Sarah Vaughn and Bobby Timmons that he took during the 40s, 50s and 60s.
