Photography

Ave Pildas

Ave Pildas (born September 16, 1939) is an American photographer, designer, and art educator known for his work in both the music industry and fine arts. He gained recognition for his early photographs of jazz musicians, including Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane and Dave Brubeck, that were published in DownBeat magazine during the 1960s. His fifty year practice reflects photography’s dual role as an instrument of social justice and social concerns as well as its various manifestations as an artform.
