EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of George Wettling, New York, N.Y. 1946,' was masterfully captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb. The image transports us back to the golden age of jazz in the United States, specifically in the bustling city of New York, New York. The subject of the photograph is George Godfrey Wettling, a talented drummer who made a significant impact on the jazz scene during the 1940s. Wettling is depicted standing confidently, dressed in a sharp suit and holding a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke from the cigarette curls upwards, adding a sense of depth and texture to the image. The monochromatic palette of the photograph, achieved through the use of a film negative, lends an air of timelessness and nostalgia to the image. The portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the jazz era and the fashion trends of the time. The concept of the photograph is simple yet powerful, capturing the essence of a man and his music in a single frame. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving our artistic and cultural history, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of jazz music on American culture. William Paul Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, expertly captured the essence of George Wettling's personality and charisma in this striking portrait. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of jazz history or American cultural heritage.
