Herb Snitzer (1932-2022) – Snitzer’s career covered over fifty years of image-making. In 1957, he graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art and moved to New York City, where he quickly established himself as one of the top young photojournalists.

He worked for Life, Look, The Saturday Evening Post, Fortune, Time and other national magazines as well as for the New York Times and Herald Tribune. He became Photography and Associate Editor of America’s Leading Jazz Magazine, Metronome, which enabled him to meet and photograph and become friends with many of the great jazz musicians of that era; Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Count Basie, etc.

Snitzer’s photographic, social and political interests covered a wide spectrum of issues, which find their way into his visual work. Freedom, equality and justice are all expressed in his political images, yet he also found the time to work with more personal and intimate expressions about life and living. His work is in the collections of many museums and private collectors; the Museum of Modern Art, Houston Museum of Fine Arts and Boston Museum of African American History, and the collections of Elton John, Bill & Hillary Clinton to name a few.

The work of Herb Snitzer is featured in these exhibitions.
