Khachaturian, Aram. (1903-1978) [Ouzer, Louis. (1913 - 2002)]. Aram Khachaturian, Rochester, 1968.
Large gelatin silver print of the leading Soviet-Armenian composer. 19 x 15 inches, on the original black photographer's mount. Photographer's name signed in ink lower right and with his label and stamp on the mount verso. Print lightly chipped bent and chipped at corners, else fine.  

March 4th, 1968 marked the beginning of “Khachaturian Week” at the Eastman School of Music. The composer, who was on a conducting tour in the U.S., came directly from the airport to the Eastman School, where he immediately went into a rehearsal. Various symposia, concerts and events throughout the week included a Q&A about which The Rochester press reported that the composer “appeared to be enjoying himself” during the exchange with the audience and concluded on March 8th when the Eastman Philharmonia performed music of Khachaturian under the composer’s baton. 

The son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Ouzer grew up poor in Rochester and was noted for his remarkable and unusual photographs of musical visitors to the Eastman School of Music and the Rochester Philharmonic over more than a half-century.  Ouzer worked with the available light and said "I look for background before I take anyone's picture." The subjects in his black-and-white portraits, shrouded in shadow, often have a melancholy cast, as here. His 1979 book, "Contemporary Musicians in Photographs," helped extend his reputation as a photographer of celebrated performers.
