Biographical / Historical

Jack Davis was born in 1920 in Waco, Texas to A.J. Davis, a master plumber, and Willie Ann Davis, a homemaker and traveler. At 18 years old, with 80 cents burning a hole in his pocket, he hopped a freight train headed west. He bought his first camera in 1940. In 1941, he began serving in the U.S. Navy as a mess attendant, a role that only allowed him to cook and wash clothes which was imposed on him and other servicemen of color due to racial segregation. He eventually married and settled in Los Angeles in the mid-1940s.
Davis was a Black professional photographer who specialized in portrait and commercial photography and was known for his "people pictures." He began his study of photography at Fremont High School. To make ends meet, he shined shoes, washed cars, and hustled photos at night clubs on Central Avenue. He honed his skills further by attending the Art Center School of Design. Beginning in 1957, he owned and operated the Modern Arts Studio of Photography, which was located at 4150 South Vermont Avenue, across from Manual Arts High School in Vermont Square, Los Angeles.
Davis's work has appeared in Ebony and Sepia magazines, and The Los Angeles Times, The Herald Examiner, and The Los Angeles Sentinel newspapers. He was one of several Black photographers featured in the documentary, The Legacy Continues: Black Photographers. His photographs have been exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem, California African American Museum, the Black Gallery, and in the traveling exhibit, "Light Catchers." Davis was an active community member who promoted photography. In 1984 he joined the Black Photographers of California, a nonprofit and a photography collective that exhibited at the Black Gallery in Crenshaw and often collaborated on projects and programs. He was also a member of and a photographer for the People's Independent Church of Christ, which was located at 1025 E. 18th St. and Paloma Avenue.
Davis also taught photography from 1957 to 1989 for the Los Angeles Unified School District and local community colleges, and then again at the age of 76 at Inglewood's Morningside High School. "I tell my students I would like them to become poets with their cameras."
He died in 2004.

Scope and Contents

The Jack Davis Photograph Collection primarily consists of images of individuals, social and business groups' activities, and significant personal or social events of the predominantly Black community of Los Angeles, particularly South Los Angeles, from the 1950s to the 1980s, with bulk dates from the 1960s and the 1970s. Studio portraits, churches and social clubs' activities, wedding photography, and the 1969 Watts Summer Festival are prominently featured. The collection is largely composed of color negatives (predominantly 120mm and 35mm), small prints, and slides. Some negatives, particularly from the 1950s, were discarded due to severe cracking from deterioration accelerated by previous poor storage conditions.
The collection is arranged into four series: Business, Social, Religious, and Educational Groups (1951-1989), Events and Places (1952-1988), People (1955-1989), and Products, Non-Human Subjects, Working Papers, and Tests (1950-1978).
Series I, Business, Social, Religious, and Educational Groups, consists of images of a variety of groups and organizations, both professional and social, that include churches, clubs, companies, schools, and bands. Notable groups that were Davis's frequent clients include the People's Independent Church of Christ, mortuaries such as Ashley-Grisby and Conner-Johnson, the Boys Club, Manual Arts Adult and High School, and fraternal organizations such as the Order of the Eastern Star. This series spans the years from 1951 to 1989. It contains negatives, prints, slides, and ephemera.
Series II, Events and Places, consists of images from a variety of social, cultural, political, and professional events, and of images of places, such as buildings and scenery from Davis's travels. Types of events include awards ceremonies, banquets, funerals, performances, political rallies, festivals, and weddings. Significant individuals photographed at events include the following: actors Napoleon Whiting and Josephine Baker; the musicians Duke Ellington, Dinah Washington, Ray Charles, and Nat King Cole; the civil rights activists Reverend Maurice Dawkins, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X; and the politicians Ralph Leon, Mervyn Dymally, and Robert F. and John F. Kennedy. The 1969 Watts Summer Festival and Davis's wedding photography are prominently featured. This series spans the years from 1952 to 1988. It contains negatives, prints, slides, and ephemera.
Series III, People, consists of images of individuals, including families and children, predominantly in the form of studio portraits. Images are grouped alphabetically by the first initial of the last name, or the first name if no last name is present. The personal names found in records may sometimes be the client and not the subject photographed, and the client could be the employer, spouse, parent or another relation to the subject. Significant individuals photographed in this series include the actors Napoleon Whiting and Lillian Lehman, the politician Mervyn Dymally, and the activist Reverend Maurice Dawkins. This series spans the years from 1955 to 1989. It contains negatives, prints, slides, and ephemera.
Series IV, Products, Non-Human Subjects, Working Papers, and Tests, is the smallest series and it consists of images of products, non-human subjects such as clothing items, and photographic experimentation. It also consists of Davis's studio working papers that include correspondence, pricing, and lists of clients. This series spans the years from 1950 to 1978. It contains negatives, prints, slides, ephemera, paper records, and realia.
Series and collection folders are arranged alphabetically by title.
