Description

This is the third of what so far is 3 Johnny Mercer prints by me designed for the collection here on FAA. The first is titled “Johnny Mercer's Grave in Bonaventure” and a link for it can be found at the end of this description. The second, which was posted just before this one, is called “Johnny Mercer Cool in Summer Shade Number 1.”

ABOUT MERCER: A native of Savannah, Georgia (USA) the famous Academy-award winning composer Johnny Mercer lived from 1909-1976. The image seen here is a life-sized bronze statue of Mercer leaning against a fire hydrant while reading a newspaper. It is located at the western edge of Ellis Square in Savannah’s downtown historic district just before entering the famous City Market. The statue was created by sculptor Susie Chisholm and unveiled November 18, 2009, in celebration of Mercer’s 100th birthday. Since then, along with the site of Mercer’s grave in Bonaventure Cemetery further to the east, it has become a favorite for visitors to the city.

This digital photograph is part of the “Greeting Flannery O’Connor at the Back Door of My Mind” art collection because of Mercer’s connection to the film adaptation of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (by John Berendt) discussed in Greeting Flannery.

Beautifully executed image, Aberjhani! My daughter lived in Savanna for a while and I received this tour from her when I visited her. Such a beautiful city and you have captured this Musical Genius very well! "That Old Black Magic'' is one of my favorites amongst many!

VIVA Anderson

Compliments, Congrats, Aberjhani. Wonderful Tribute, Wonderful Mercer image, fv..... VIVA

Aberjhani replied:

Thank you VIVA. Mr. Mercer earned his renown as a favorite son of my hometown so I try to honor that fact.

I appreciate that very much Danny. Mercer is often referred to as a "favorite son" of Savannah but the legacy of his music is obviously also a national treasure, and maybe even world treasure. I hoped to capture some of his vitality from the past in the present moment.

DANNY LOWE

Love Johnny Mercer and "Moon River" and Savannah. This photo is a great work of art that pays homage to Mercer and makes the statue come alive!

Aberjhani replied:

I appreciate that very much Christiane. That "V" does kind of stand out doesn't it?
