EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the magnetic presence of two iconic figures of the 1940s American cultural scene: Lena Horne and Lennie Hayton. Taken in New York City in 1946 by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb, the image finds Horne, a groundbreaking African American actress and singer, and Hayton, a prominent conductor and arranger, in an intimate moment of camaraderie. Horne, dressed in a stylish suit and hat, gazes intently at Hayton, who playfully holds a saxophone, a nod to his jazz background. Both figures were central figures in the Golden Age of Jazz and the Civil Rights Movement, using their talents to challenge racial barriers and pave the way for future generations. As a singer and actress, Horne broke through racial stereotypes and became a symbol of empowerment for African Americans. Her career spanned various mediums, including film, television, and live performances. Hayton, on the other hand, was a key figure in the jazz world, working with legends such as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. He was also an advocate for civil rights, using his position to promote equality in the entertainment industry. This evocative portrait encapsulates the spirit of the era, showcasing the dynamic interplay between music, activism, and art. The image is a testament to the enduring influence of these two pioneers and their contributions to American culture.
