Anti Appreciation Covers Crate Craze Ears Favourite Horror Imported Listen Listening Lyre Noise Noisy Personification Pollution Musical
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative and thought-provoking image, Time, the personification of the relentless march forward, reels in shock and dismay as she witnesses the latest American import that has taken the world by storm: Jazz music. Dated back to 1913, this powerful photograph captures the moment of realization and disapproval as Time drops her ancient lyre, a symbol of musical creation and harmony, in horror. With a look of utter disgust, she covers her ears, unable to bear the noisy, chaotic sounds that have infiltrated her once peaceful domain. The crate labeled "Jazz" sits ominously in the foreground, its contents spilling out and polluting the pristine environment with their discordant din. The craze for this new musical phenomenon has spread like wildfire, leaving many traditionalists, like Time herself, feeling overwhelmed and out of touch. The once favorite melodies and harmonies have been replaced by a cacophony of sounds that seem to defy the very fabric of music. The contrast between the elegant, timeless figure of Time and the chaotic, disruptive force of Jazz is striking. The image is a commentary on the human tendency to resist change, especially when it comes to art and culture. It also speaks to the power of music to evoke strong emotions and shape societal norms. Despite the initial resistance, Jazz would go on to become a beloved and enduring part of the musical landscape, transcending cultural boundaries and leaving an indelible mark on history. This photograph, with its humorous yet poignant depiction of Time's reaction to the new musical import, serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of art and the human response to it.
