American Classical Music Composer Frederick Jacobi 1923 Portrait Photo by Laura Gilpin
DESCRIPTION & CONDITION:
Written on the back in pen- Frederick Jacobi photograph by Laura Gilpin Colo. Springs, Colo. 1923”. “Frederick Jacobi (1891-1952) was a Jewish-American composer and teacher. His works include symphonies, concerti, chamber music, works for solo piano and for solo organ, lieder, and one opera. He taught at Juilliard School of Music from 1936 to 1950. He also served as the director of the American section of the International Society for Contemporary Music and was a founding member of the League of Composers. Jacobi is best remembered as a composer of works with Judaic themes [and] although Jacobi\'s secular work is performed only infrequently today, his liturgical works continue to receive performances in synagogues. Jacobi\'s work largely rejects the polytonality and atonality that was popular with the avant-garde composers of his time. Instead he finds his influence in the classical and romantic periods. Baltimore Sun critic, Florestan Croche, described Jacobi\'s style as having \"a sense of the drama which is always aristocratic, introspective, and personal, and never allowed to become theatrical. Harmonically ... his is a language of extreme chromaticism, one, however, which always appears to be tonally oriented.” He died on October 24, 1952 in New York City of heart failure”[Wikipedia].
Laura Gilpin (1891-1979) was an American photographer, known for her photographs of Native Americans, particularly the Navajo and Pueblo, and Southwestern landscapes. Gilpin began taking photographs as a child in Colorado and formally studied photography in New York from 1916 to 1917 before returning to her home in Colorado to begin her career as a professional photographer. Gilpin is considered to be one of the great platinum printing photographers, and many of her platinum prints are now in museums around the world” [Wikipedia].
