The wonderful Historical New Orleans Collection have posted this painting on their Facecrack page.
Louis Armstrong is arguably the most famous New Orleans jazz musician of all time and he continues to inspire musicians and artists. His life and music will be celebrated at this weekend’s Satchmo Summerfest. This impressionistic painting by Jacques van Aalten, a Belgian artist who lived in New Orleans, was created between 1950 and 1970.
There doesn’t seem to be much about Jacques van Aalten online though there are a few shots of him in action.
