EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Ann Hathaway, a jazz singer of the 1940s, as she stands before the triumphal arch in Washington Square, New York City. The image, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in May 1947, showcases Hathaway's elegant and timeless style. Her simple yet chic dress and coat complement the architectural feature of the archway, creating a beautiful contrast between the human form and the monumental structure. Ann Hathaway was a jazz vocalist who rose to prominence during the golden age of jazz in the United States. Her career was marked by her powerful voice and captivating stage presence, making her a beloved figure in the jazz community. The portrait, taken during a break from her performance, offers a glimpse into the life of a jazz singer during the forties, a time when music was a source of joy and inspiration for many Americans. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century, particularly the jazz scene in New York City. The monochromatic tones of the image add to its vintage appeal, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The use of a film negative further enhances the image's authenticity, adding depth and texture to the portrait. Ann Hathaway's profile, framed by the archway, exudes confidence and poise, reflecting her triumphant spirit as a jazz singer. The portrait is a reminder of the enduring power of music and the artists who brought it to life during the golden age of jazz. This image by William Paul Gottlieb is a true masterpiece of heritage art, capturing a moment in time that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
