EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Alan Lomax, a renowned American folklorist, during his performance at the Mountain Music Festival in Asheville, North Carolina. Taken around 1940, this image showcases Lomax's passion for music and his dedication to preserving traditional folk songs. Seated on a chair with his guitar in hand, Lomax exudes an air of authenticity as he strums the strings with expertise. His face is illuminated by a single spotlight, emphasizing his deep connection to the music he sings. With a microphone poised before him, Lomax's powerful voice resonates through the venue as he shares stories and melodies that have been passed down through generations. As an ethnographer and musician himself, Lomax played a significant role in documenting and promoting various forms of American roots music. Through countless field recordings across the Southeastern United States, he captured the raw emotions and cultural heritage embedded within these timeless tunes. In this portrait-like photograph taken by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection in New York City (NYC), we witness not only Lomax's musical prowess but also his unwavering commitment to celebrating America's rich musical traditions. This print serves as a testament to Alan Lomax's enduring legacy as one of America's most influential folklorists who dedicated his life to preserving our nation's diverse musical heritage for future generations to cherish.
