2005 New Orleans Jazz Festival Poster Gatemouth Congo Square
Edition:3,600 unsigned, numbered prints, 23″ x 32″This auction is for a one of a kind numbered print from a run of of 3600. Poster is new, as delivered by Art4Now in 2005 This print has never been displayed or framed. Photos are stock photos. The poster you will receive is identical to the photo. Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown was a musical gumbo: A tasty melange of blues, R&B, country, swing, bebop and Cajun ingredients simmered to perfection for more than eighty years. Born in Vinton, Louisiana, Gate played guitar, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica and drums publicly for well over half a century. In 1982 at 57, 30 years after he began recording, Gate won a Grammy and was to be nominated for five more. At a time when most people turn to golf and grandchildren, Gate’s ” retirement” consisted of playing “only” 100 dates a year. We’re sorry to report that he passed away on September 12th, 2005 in Orange, TX after losing his home to Katrina. He carried a great tradition forward with verve and will be sorely missed.Artist George Hunt has lived on a parallel, albeit visual, blues track. Hunt was born outside Lake Charles, less then a 30 minute drive from Gate’s birthplace. Like his subject – the first Congo Square poster to pay tribute to a particular musician – Hunt was raised just over the Louisiana border in Texas. Hunt is considered America’s foremost blues artist, but his work goes well beyond making music-inspired pictures: It covers the full range of the Southern African-American experience from the civil rights movement to the mythic heroism of those who came before. In addition to the signed and unsigned editions, a special edition (double-signed by both Gatemouth Brown and George Hunt) was offered for the first time in the series.Editions:3,600 unsigned, numbered prints, 23″ x 32″
