As a prelude to the upcoming Jazz Festival in Metuchen, Galerie Westerhoff and Friends of Metuchen Arts are delighted to bring to you DECISIVE MOMENTS IN JAZZ, a Photo Exhibit of jazz icons by the renowned Jazz photographer, Enid Farber.
How Enid describes two of her many photographs that will be on display at this exhibit...
"These two photos are representative of the upcoming exhibit featuring a broad spectrum of my work, from the beginning of my 45 year journey in jazz photography, to present.. As for the technical aspects, one image (Sarah Vaughan) is a monochromatic, sepia-toned print from a 35mm film camera. The other (Samara Joy) is a vivid color image from a mirrorless digital camera. But more importantly, the juxtaposition of the legend (Sarah) who is no longer with us, next to the young mega talented, double 2022 Grammy winner (Samara), whose meteoric trajectory began with winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughn International Singing Competition, right here in the Garden State! I chose these two photos with none of that in mind, but because I love them. There is more of that kismet, coincidence, juxtaposition, magic and majesty in the somewhat random selection of photos that will be included in the exhibition and I look forward to sharing those with you!"
Join us for the Opening Reception on September 16, 3-5 pm at Galerie Westerhoff, housed in Westerhoff School of Music and Art, which is celebrating 25 years of nurturing art and music in the community!
Galerie Westerhoff is open during the Westerhoff school hours.
