George Gershwin was one of the first to introduce into popular songs the rhythms and melodic twists of jazz, and was already known for this as the Roaring Twenties got underway. Then in 1924, Gershwin wrote, in less than three weeks, his "Rhapsody in Blue" for piano and jazz band. This cemented his reputation and remains one of his two most acclaimed compositions. In 1931, he wrote the score for the show "Of Thee I Sing," which became the first musical to win a Pulitzer Prize. Offered here is a 11" x 9.5" portrait photo beautifully signed and inscribed on the mat in black fountain pen, with Gershwin penning the musical notations for his famed "Rhapsody in Blue" arrangement. The photo is trimmed (likely from an original 14" x 11") and is framed to an overall size of 18.5" x 18" overall.
