  • Story:
    In the cobblestone heart of Greenwich Village, the air thrummed with jazz and unsung 1920s melodies. Amid this vibrant era, a lesser-known story emerges: in Alfred Stieglitz’s gallery, art didn’t just hang—it transformed the American vision of modernity. During an impromptu jam session, Moses Thompkins, a young African American musician, happened upon this creative hub, merging jazz with avant-garde art. This fusion captivated Salvador Dalí, moving discretely before his rise. Thompkins' jazz infused Dalí's work, spawning surrealist elements tinged with jazz rhythm. Hidden in archives, letters show how such meetings defied norms, with each stroke and note reshaping perspectives, affirming art's vibrant dialogue with life—a testament to boundless human creativity.
