EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Portrait of Gloria King, New York, N.Y. ca. Apr. 1947,' is a stunning work of art by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb. The image transports us back to the golden age of jazz in the United States during the 1940s. Gloria King, a beautiful brunette with golden brown hair, sits relaxed and at ease, a vision of tranquility and grace. She is surrounded by an atmosphere of pampering and relaxation, with two people in the background attending to her needs. One person massages her feet, while the other holds a glass of water, suggesting that this is a moment of respite for the jazz singer between performances. Gloria's expression is one of serene happiness, her eyes closed in contentment as she enjoys the simple pleasures of life. The contrast between the stark black and white tones of the photograph and the warm, inviting atmosphere it conveys is a testament to William Paul Gottlieb's mastery of the medium. This image is a poignant reminder of the human side of jazz, a genre that has long been synonymous with the vibrant culture and heritage of America. The photograph was taken in New York City, New York, in the spring of 1947, a time when the city was at the heart of the jazz scene. The image is a precious document of a bygone era, a moment frozen in time that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
