Big Beat Steve Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, Dmitry said: That's the kind of stuff Guy Peellaert did in the field of rock music more than 40 years ago (anybody remember "Rock Dreams"?) The jury is still out on whether this really is art (or even "high" art) but it can be fun to look at. But it can become kitschy too. And sticklers for detail will wonder whether '46-48 DeSoto taxis were actually still in use in NY at all (I doubt it) when Miles and Trane could have hopped into one at the time they looked like this - and whether cars typically parked at the curb were THAT old.

BillF Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 2 hours ago, Big Beat Steve said: Yet I always failed to see the point why he had to use a photo of Bird as a basis that - certainly not without reason - was captioned in "Bird Lives" as "Tired, fat, disenchanted and looking ten or fifteen years older ...a very played out Bird." Because it was for the cover of a 1952 album, when Bird had only three years left to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thats not quite what I meant. What I meant was what would have kept DSM from using a somewhat more ... well ... positive photo as the model for doing this drawing? Such photos did exist, particularly from that session, and could have been worked into that collage just as well. (Yes I know I am talking from a perspective of hindsight, but still ... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masking tape, used during painting, is still in place in the later work. Perhaps this might suit you better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the human sax player! The shading of her dress evokes Hokusai. Now that's art.Great find! Guess who this is.
