EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enchanting presence of Adele Girard as she plays her harp at the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C., around February 1942. The image, created by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb during the golden age of jazz, showcases Adele's intense focus and direct gaze as she performs for an intimate audience. The Turkish Embassy, a cultural hub in the nation's capital, served as the perfect setting for this unique musical moment. Adele Girard, an American harpist of Turkish and French descent, is seen smiling while looking directly at the camera, inviting viewers into her world of music. The monochrome palette of the photograph adds to the timeless and evocative quality of the image. The use of a film negative further enhances the depth and contrast, creating a striking visual effect. The portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1940s, a time when various musical genres and artistic expressions flourished. Adele's performance at the Turkish Embassy, with her golden harp as the centerpiece, represents the diverse musical landscape of the era and the enduring power of music to bring people together. William Paul Gottlieb, a pioneering figure in jazz photography, expertly captured this moment, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the artistry and beauty of Adele Girard's performance.
