EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of Tex Beneke, New York, N.Y. ca. June 1947,' was created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the golden age of jazz in the United States. The image features Tex Beneke, a prominent singer and saxophonist, surrounded by three other men, possibly band members or colleagues, in a dimly lit room. The setting exudes an air of sophistication and intrigue, with the group gathered around a spotlight that illuminates Tex, drawing attention to him as the focal point. Tex Beneke is dressed in a crisp, formal evening dress jacket and dress pants, while the other men wear suits and ties. The contrast between the dark background and the brightly lit subjects creates a striking visual effect that emphasizes the group's unity and camaraderie. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of jazz music in America during the 1940s, a time when jazz was a major influence on popular culture and fashion. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. holds this precious piece of history in its extensive collection, a reminder of the enduring legacy of jazz music and the artists who brought it to life. William Paul Gottlieb's masterful use of lighting, composition, and subject matter makes this portrait a standout in the annals of jazz photography, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the spirit of the musicians who defined it.
