Louis Armstrong: A Cultural Legacy | |
| For the final 30 years of his 70-year life, jazz
legend Louis Armstrong lived in Corona, Queens, less than a mile from the
Queens Museum of Art. Guest curator Marc H. Miller creates "a multi-media
collage in which documentary material, fine art, sound, video, and text
combine to communicate Armstrongs story along with the excitement
and feel of his music". The show featured paintings, drawings, sculptures,
and photographs by artists such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Stuart
Davis, Annie Liebowitz, and Archibald Motley, Jr., and included never-before-seen
collages created by Armstrong himself in the 1950s and 60s.
EXHIBITION DATE: September 23, 1994 - January 8, 1995 |
