Wallace Berman’s drawings for the cover of the two-volume anthology Bebop Jazz from 1947 and 1948 are generally believed to be his first published works. The collage-like illustration evokes the sound and energy of jazz music. Berman was a lover of jazz, and the genre’s emphasis on experimentation and improvisation would help shape his artistic oeuvre.
