This catalogue documents the exhibition Art of Jazz, a
collaborative installation at the Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of
African & African American Art with one section ("Form")
installed at the Harvard Art Museum. The book explores the
intersection of the visual arts and jazz music, and presents a
visual feast of full color plates of artworks, preceded by a series
of essays. "Form," curated by Suzanne Preston Blier and David
Bindman in the teaching gallery of the Harvard Art Museum, ushers
in a dialogue between visual representation and jazz music,
showcasing artists' responses to jazz. "Performance," also curated
by Blier and Bindman, guides us through a rich collection of books,
album covers, photographs, and other ephemera installed at the
Cooper Gallery. "Notes," curated by Cooper Gallery director Vera
Ingrid Grant, fills five of the gallery's curatorial spaces with
contemporary art that illustrates how late twentieth- and early
twenty-first century artists hear, view, and engage with jazz.
Visual artists represented in "Form" include Matisse, Jackson
Pollock, Romare Bearden, and Stuart Davis. "Performance" includes
art by Hugh Bell, Carl Van Vechten, and Romare Bearden; additional
album cover art by Joseph Albers, Ben Shahn, Andy Warhol, and the
Fisk Jubilee Singers; and posters and photographs of Josephine
Baker and Lena Horne. "Notes" includes art by Cullen Washington,
Norman Lewis, Walter Davis, Lina Viktor, Petite Noir, Ming Smith,
Richard Yarde, Christopher Myers, Whitfield Lovell, and Jason
Moran.
