About the Item

10th Anniversary New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival Poster, 1979 by John Martinez Fifth in the series by John Martinez. The grand marshal returns for the Jazz Festival's 10th anniversary; as does the "cut paper" technique first seen in the 1977 poster. The vivid palette matches the brassy celebration marking a decade of Jazz Fest. The unsigned edition was increased to accommodate the incredible demand for the now famous series, and still sold out prior to the conclusion of the Festival. Martinez is an artist, designer and art director whose vast body of work spans film, television, the Internet and various print media. He is the recipient of awards and honors from many professional organizations, including the Society of Illustrators, the Art Directors Club and Print magazine. Martinez is a former Senior Vice President and Creative Director at the Dentsu Corporation of America. His work is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, which honored him for best art direction in their broadcast advertising show of 1994.
