"D-49" John Coltrane Darkroom Print by Victor Kalin - Limited Edition

During the search for the original artwork used for A Love Supreme, VMP’s creative team contacted the estate of Victor Kalin. It became clear the estate held more than even VMP could imagine with photos of over 150 musicians from Jazz’s Golden Age. This includes the unpublished photo Victor took of John Coltrane nearly 60 years ago as reference for his gatefold rendering in A Love Supreme. VMP worked in conjunction with both the Coltrane and Kalin estates to offer a print quality version from an original photo negative.

About the artist:

Starting his career drawing elegant women for major magazines and cowboys for pulp fiction in the pre-photography age, artist Victor ‘’Vic'' Kalin illustrated more than 100 album covers in the 1960s and ’70s for greats ranging from Count Basie to Charles Mingus. His most iconic work wasn’t a cover, but rather the gatefold of A Love Supreme. His charged kinetic charcoal profile of John Coltrane wrestling his tenor saxophone eventually appeared on Coltrane’s funeral program as the enduring icon of an enduring inspirational talent. Press pass in hand, Kalin also frequented festivals and concerts with his camera to snap musicians, including Coltrane, live for jazz magazines and books. He developed and processed his black-and-white film with effects like distortion or double exposure — handmade expressions much like his illustrations. Remembered as a bon vivant and creative polymath, Kalin left a prolific, colorful portfolio of culture before passing away in 1991.
