Ray Charles at The North Sea Jazz Festival, The Hague. Very large, high resolution, signed and numbered print, made from the original negative on archival quality, acid free paper. This process is supervised, numbered and signed by the artist, along with signed “Certificate of Authenticity” with matching edition number and complimentary copy of "The Man Who Used Jazz For Justice".

Petersen Antiques and 1stDibs have exclusive rights to this historic series of photographs by Photographer Tad Hershorn. They can not be purchased anywhere else! As the friend and authorized biographer to the legendary Norman Granz (founder of Verve Records, the music label that turned these great artists into superstars), Tad Hershorn had the opportunity to shoot these pictures. While interviewing Granz and collecting material for the Biography,. "The Man Who Used Jazz for Justice", Hershorn frequently travelled with Granz and the artists allowing him intimate access to them! In the late 1940s, Ray Charles Robinson was entranced (as many were) by the jazz pianist and silky vocals of Nat Cole...

It is a place of perfection in nature, of reconciliation with our origin, of serenity towards our near reality. Paradises are there, waiting for us. We earn them sometimes, and some other times we are expelled from them and then their very existence becomes a reproach. Paradises are not ephemeral, though. All that belongs to Nature is ephemeral and boundless at the same time. It remains until the infinite and returns to the beginning to wither again and so on, over and over. Paradise escapes us, it slips out in our imagination of what it is. It disappears and then, just like everything we cannot hold, like everything vanishing away from our desire for grasping, it must be replicated, frozen in time, imitated at best, never to be lost again. We contemplate it in all its confines, we study it and scrutinise all its forms, line by line, each with different colours and nuances. We thus hold on to the ephemeral, we stop its decadence, we perpetuate beauty in our urge to negate its own death. The paradise reverts to the logic of the quest. Maybe the last voyage ever to be undertaken is that of defining a paradise through sheer technical mastery, through the use of an apparent wisdom, a meticulous ability to reproduce reality: to create some sort of artificial paradise, a world where everything is reproducible and interminable, and so all appears at last to be perfectly docile and tame. To believe in the absolute harmlessness of such a paradise. And very likely to open up an abyss afresh, a new irony (tragic o comic or perhaps both at the same time) about each petal of each of its artificial flowers, made in the image and according to the likeness of reality. Artificial Paradises intends to be a very own and concrete paradise in a very specific location. The tradition of reproduction/imitation in Asia forms part of its culture. The tenacious aim for perfection, or for the idea of perfection held about things, blurs the confine between what is and its perfect imitation. In Asia the electric colours of the artificial plants...
