William Horberg

Portraits in Jazz is a tribute to the music and personality of jazz musicians. William Horberg's works on paper captures the spirit and melody of the many artists who have inspired him and built this distinctly American art form. Each study by Horberg is a sensitive meditation on the process, passion and lyricism of the individual musician in numerous small-scale intimate portraits. As a jazz musician, writer, visual artist and film producer, William Horberg succeeds in weaving together not only the history of jazz but its relevance today in contemporary culture.

"William Horberg: Portraits in Jazz " curated by Meira Blaustein and Jen Dragon opens Fri. October 5th and continues through Sun. October 28th, 2018.

With a life-long career in film, William Horberg has always been a story-teller. As a producer, Horberg is aware of the interplay of the narrative with all 5 senses. William Horberg not only expresses this story-telling by means of his cinematic work, but as a jazz flautist and ultimately as a jazz lover through these many, small, sensitive mixed media portraits. A memoir by William Horberg My Life in Space: Stories of a Hollywood Outlier about his life and career will be published by WoodstockArts in June, 2019.
