EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of June Christy and Bob Cooper," was captured by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in either 1947 or 1948. The image offers a glimpse into the golden age of jazz, a time of cultural significance and artistic innovation in America. The scene is set inside an apartment, with the couple, June Christy and Bob Cooper, seated on a plush couch. Christy, a talented jazz vocalist, applies lipstick from a compact mirror, her gaze fixed on her reflection. Cooper, a skilled jazz musician, looks on with a gentle smile, his attention focused on his girlfriend. The image exudes an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, with the couple seemingly lost in their own world. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the accommodation and camaraderie that existed between jazz musicians and singers during this era. The black and white film negative adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The portrait is now part of the prestigious collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The image also highlights the daily routines and occupations of jazz artists during the 1940s. The use of a mirror and cosmetics by Christy adds an element of glamour and sophistication to the scene, while Cooper's casual attire and thoughtful expression convey a sense of ease and comfort. Overall, this photograph is a valuable contribution to the heritage of jazz and American culture.
