Paintings & Prints in the Jazz Collection

The pictorial collection consists primarily of posters, paintings, and other artwork related to music in Louisiana. Many posters are from other countries, mostly from the many jazz festivals that have been held around the world since the early 60s. And of course, the collection has many posters relating to the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, both the "collectibles," high-quality silk-screened prints signed and numbered by the artist, and ordinary street posters for advertising.
