Best known for his work as senior photographer for Jazz at Lincoln Center, Stewart produced energetic street scenes and profound landscapes on his worldwide travels with the orchestra. The intimate and subtle relations between and among people are at the heart of Stewart's art, whether shot at a Manhattan jazz concert, in the studio of artist Romare Bearden, or during a sacred rite in an African village. This sweeping survey of 103 images, with an artist interview and texts by multiple critical voices, illuminates the evolution of a remarkable career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExhibition Itinerary: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.: June 10-September 2, 2023 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArtis-Naples, The Baker Museum, Naples, FL: October 14, 2023-January 7, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTelfair Museums, Savannah, GA: February 9 - May 12, 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuth Fine\u003c\/b\u003e is former curator of special projects in modern art at the National Gallery of Art. \u003cb\u003eFred Moten\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet and professor of performance studies at NYU's Tisch School of Fine Arts. \u003cb\u003eWynton Marsalis\u003c\/b\u003e is artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. \u003cb\u003eMary Schmidt Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e is president emerita of Spelman College. \u003cb\u003eCheryl Finley\u003c\/b\u003e is director of the Atlanta University Center Collective for the Study of Art History and Curatorial Studies. \u003cb\u003eFrank Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e has had numerous solo and group shows, including at the International Center of Photography, MOCA in Los Angeles, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington.
