Description

NOLA Icons Jazz pop art by New Orleans artist Chuck Benson is quintessential pop art. It features one of the first Jazz Fest posters from the Historic New Orleans Collection. The image is printed over a local newspaper’s music listings surrounded by other NOLA icons.

Benson’s colorful photo-painting collages feature high-contrast photos printed on recyclable papers, mounted on canvas and then painted with acrylics. NOLA Icons Jazz has a pastel palette with a clear crosshatch design over it, a signature characteristic of “Bensonola” collages.

NOLA Icons Jazz is a photo collage painted on canvas with the edges painted black. This pop-art piece is ready to hang, requires no framing—though it could easily be framed.
