Ronny Jaques

RONNY JAQUES (1910 - 2008)



Billie Holiday, New York, c. 1943

gelatin silver print, printed later

signed and titled in ink, with stamped photographer’s credit (verso)

14 x 11 in. (354 x 280 mm.)



British-born photographer Ronny Jaques enjoyed a successful career as a staff photographer for New York magazines Harper’s Bazaar and Town & Country throughout the 1940s and 50s, often frequenting New York jazz clubs with his camera in his free time. His jazz portraits were published for the first time in the 2008 book Stolen Moments: The Photographs of Ronny Jaques by former editor of Town & Country Pamela Fiori. Very little has survived from Jaques portfolio. ‘His black and white negatives were lost by a printing house;’ notes Fiori, ‘his colour work mysteriously disappeared. That left a small collection of prints, and whatever tear sheets existed from the magazines to which he had contributed.’
