    ROBERT WEAVER (1924-1994) Charlie Parker.

    Est: $1,000 - $1,500

    ROBERT WEAVER (1924-1994) Charlie Parker. Record album cover illustration for Charlie Parker: Bird with Strings Live at the Apollo, Carnegie Hall and Birdland (Columbia Records, 1976). Acrylic on board. 20 x 20 inches (image) in 20 1/2 x 20 1/2-inch frame. Accompanied by a copy of the LP. Often referred to as the "godfather of the new illustration," Robert Weaver was among a group of illustrators whose innovative approach to visual storytelling both conveyed information and evoked emotion. Weaver's portrayals of jazz personalities, spanning traditional to bebop, vividly capture the essence of the music. Bird with Strings features a selection of Charlie Parker's live performances of music with string secction, recorded between 1949 and 1954. These live arrangements mirror those of the studio recordings, but Parker's solos in are notably distinct.

    ROBERT L. WEAVER (American, 1924-1994) A New York Street Gang, Life magazine cover, September 9, 1957 Oil on board 15 x 12.5 in. Signed lower right "A powerful and haunting juvenile delinquent image which bears little resemblance to the other illustrated JD subjects of the same period. Though published in 1957, the stereotypical imagery of the teen delinquent, now so much a part of our pop-culture, does not inhabit Weaver's landscape. Instead, his characters are depicted in a skewed and bleak reality, offering a disquieting view, from over a half century ago, of the birth of urban crime." From the Estate of Charles Martignette.
