EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Cab Calloway was captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in the Columbia studio in New York City during March 1947. The image showcases Calloway, a pivotal figure in the golden age of jazz, dressed in a stylish suit and looking directly at the camera with a confident and charming smile. The photograph, taken during the 1940s, exudes an air of sophistication and class. Calloway, known for his distinctive high-pitched voice and dynamic stage presence, was a singer, songwriter, and bandleader who rose to prominence during the swing era. In this portrait, he is seen in a soundproof booth, likely preparing for a recording session. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of jazz music and the artists who shaped its history. The photograph, which is a film negative, is a valuable piece of heritage art that transports us back in time to an era of innovation and creativity. The direct gaze of Calloway, who is dressed in a crisp shirt and tie, adds to the intimate and personal nature of the portrait. This image is not only a snapshot of a moment in time but also a reflection of the fashion trends and cultural context of the 1940s. Overall, this portrait of Cab Calloway by William Paul Gottlieb is a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
