Montreux Jazz Festival advertises with a naked man
On Thursday, the Montreux Jazz Festival unveiled the poster for the 46th edition of the music festival: a naked man—photographed by renowned U.S. photographer Greg Gorman.
This year's Montreux Jazz Festival takes place from June 29 to July 14. The music programme has not yet been announced, but the organizers are already providing something to talk about with the poster.
For the second time in the history of the Montreux Jazz Festival since 1967, a photographer has been awarded "carte blanche" to design the poster. The American Greg Gorman staged a sculptural-looking male nude in front of a sand dune in black and white, according to the festival management.
Greg Gorman, born in Kansas City in 1946, has published nine books and realized hundreds of film and advertising campaigns in the fields of cinema, music and sport. He has photographed countless musicians, including Michael Jackson, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Nina Hagen and Crosby, Stills and Nash. (SDA)
