 Julie Baker is pleased to announce an exhibition of jazz photographs by Frank Stewart. His black and white photographs of jazz greats such as Miles Davis, Johnny Hartman and Wynton Marsalis capture the enigma and sultry nature of jazz. As the Senior Staff Photographer for Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, Stewart grants the viewer access to backstage and captures special onstage moments.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1949, Frank Stewart grew up in Memphis and Chicago. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and received a BFA in photography from Cooper Union in New York. Mr. Stewart has had numerous one-man and group shows at Cooper Union Gallery, Washington Project for the Arts, Studio Museum in Harlem, Shomburg Center for Research, the International Center of Photography, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC. He was a member of the first team of North American journalists invited by the Government of Cuba to photograph the island in 1976; he was also invited by the Los Angeles Olympic Committee to photograph the 1984 Olympics. He has twice been granted a photographic fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and a New York Creative Artist Public Service Award. He was honored as Artist in Residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 1975, at Kenkeleba House in 1987 and at the Light Work Gallery at Syracuse University in 1989.
