Jazz Dance Posters
For all the Jazz Fans, Vernacular Jazz Dancers, and Harlem Renaissance Aficionados out there,
I have begun to acquire the rights to Jazz Age artwork with the intention of reproducing them as posters and fine art prints. Research and tracking down the original works is a large part of the process. I have also done a lot of work in finding the best printing methods so that the reproductions of these long forgotten works will have the finest possible colors and detail.The first work that I am proud to offer is by Miguel Covarrubias, an artist who lived for years in Harlem and fell in love with its culture. Its title is "The Lindy Hop," and depicts a number of couples dancing on the ballroom floor.
The work was originally made as a lithograph in a national exhibition in 1936 and this is the first reproduction of the work as a commercially available print. It is available both as an Offset-Print Poster and as a Deluxe Giclee Art Print. Additionally, a portion of every purchase benefits The Lindy Hopper's Fund of America, a nonprofit organization that helps the elder generation of Lindy Hoppers still alive today who danced at the Savoy Ballroom, on stage, and on film.I hope to offer many more wonderful works of art by other artists in the future. If you have any suggestions or would like to be on a mailing list for new additions, please email me at the link located in the upper right corner.
