About the Item

This mixed media collage presents a dynamic composition built from layered cutouts of skydiving and parachuting imagery. Photographic fragments of figures in freefall, parachutes in mid-descent, and vintage aircraft are arranged across a sky-blue ground, creating a lively rhythm of overlapping forms. Text elements such as “Parachutist,” “Sky Diver,” and “Happiness Is…” punctuate the surface, reinforcing the theme and lending a period-evocative graphic quality. The dense arrangement of images conveys both the exhilaration and spectacle of the sport, with moments of humor and playfulness embedded in the visual narrative. Unfortunately, the artist did not sign. All we can guess is that he was a passionate parachutist!

Exploration
By Tony Dagradi
Located in New Orleans, LA
medium: hardcover book, acrylic varnish My decades-long career in contemporary jazz directly informs my work as a visual artist.  Music, for me, has always had a visual component, with the diverse elements of music suggesting colors, shapes, and textures.  The juxtaposition of abstract shapes which come together as I work on a book, is very much how I perceive the interplay of melody, harmony, and rhythm. Improvisation is also key to my approach in both genres.  Within a jazz ensemble...
