Library Conversation Series
Our Library hosts a series of conversations on artmaking, new media, and film.
Our next Conversation series is September 16 at 7pm:
Heather Pinson, Ph.D.
"The Jazz Image: Seeing Music Through Herman Leonard's Photography," analyzes the work of photographer Herman Leonard, who took some of the most iconic photographs of jazz’s golden age during the 1940s and 1950s, in clubs and concert halls from New York to Paris. Leonard is a master of his craft, a groundbreaking photographer who humanized his subjects at a time when they were struggling off stage for equality and civil liberty. Leonard also has been a photographer of celebrities ranging from Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando to Bono and Bill Clinton.
