EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of Johnny Long, New York, N.Y. ca. June 1947,' is a stunning representation of jazz musician Johnny Long in his element. Taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the golden age of jazz in the United States, this image transports us back to the forties, a time of cultural vibrancy and innovation. Johnny Long, with a warm smile and piercing gaze, stands before us, his reflection in the looking glass adding an intriguing layer to the composition. The mirror not only serves as a visual device, but also symbolizes the introspective nature of music and the artist. With his violin nestled under his chin, Long's focus is entirely on the music, his connection to it palpable. The violin, a stringed instrument of great complexity, is a testament to the intricacy and depth of the music being created. The image, a beautiful example of Gottlieb's mastery of the medium, is a poignant reminder of the rich musical heritage of the United States. The man who's 'long on music' is captured in a moment of pure expression, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and soul that lies within the music of the jazz age. This portrait, a treasure from the 20th century, continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the power of music to move and inspire.
