Jazz & Heritage Festival New Orleans 25 Michalopoulos
About this poster
Their transfixing stage presence, unbounded energy and creative interplay are on full display in James Michalopoulos’ 8th contribution to this poster series - the world’s most collected. This is a work of many parts. Michalopoulos captures the band in a vista extending from the abstraction of an admiring audience surging the stage in a manner reminiscent of Picasso’s 1901 expressionist painting, Le Quatorze Julliet, to the impressionistic rendering of the Crescent City skyline on the horizon. James’s artistic erudition suffuses and elevates his central figure’s rhapsodic form, embracing her in a ring of ecstatic dancers evocative of Matisse’s lyrical Dance painting. Stage left is an expressionistic depiction of New Orleans’ classic marching jazz band led by an umbrella wielding grand marshal.
Behind the main stage are tents teeming with community and a smattering of the artist’s signature buildings backstopped by an architectural tour de force from the twin span Crescent City Connection (1958 / 1988) to St. Louis Cathedral (1718) to the Superdome (1975). Time traveling glory is delivered via the ancient tech of paper and ink that simultaneously telescopes the history of modern art as your eyes move across the image. Michalopoulos’ signature bold, colorful, perspective-distorting encyclopedic style brings insights into the intrinsic nature of his subjects that are rarely sensed directly except by the most perceptive souls. With thousands of knowingly precise strokes, perhaps the most complex work of his half-century oeuvre, he conveys the Festival experience in an iconic and immersive portrayal of time and place, transforming you into one of those souls as part of his process.
