The Art of Jazz: Illustrations by Stuard Hudgins
July 10-26, 2009
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, July 10, 6 - 8 pm
Regular Hours: Sat / Sun 1-5 pm or by appointment
The Art of Jazz features the artwork of illustrator and graphic designer Stuart Hudgins, who has accumulated over thirty-five years of experience in the field. His multi-media commissions have come from such diverse clients as: Sony Music Entertainment, PBS, The Rhythm and Blues Foundations, The BBC, and various Japanese music publications. He has worked as a feature and editorial artist for the Baltimore Sunpaper and has designed movie posters for Ethiopian filmmaker Haile Gerima.
While photography most effectively documents a time, place and the details of a moment in history, Hudgin’s digital and mixed-media photo-illustrations often combine his pen and ink renderings with the reality of a photograph, blurring the dimension between real and unreal. As an artist he looks forward to those assignments that focus on the stories of musicians who have touched our lives, giving them a context and historical accuracy that is often overlooked. He likes to think of these illustrations as photographs that might have been taken, but never were.
We hope you will join us and meet the artist Stuart Hudgins and view this retrospective of his music-related work at the opening reception on July 10.
