Duke Ellington was one of the most celebrated jazz musicians of the 1920's. He was an American composer, pianist, and bandleader of a jazz orchestra. He led his orchestra from 1923 up until his death in 1974.
Many modern will often use pen and ink as their main medium. In history most used paint, like for the stunning Mona Lisa. However, in a long time ago, most artists did not use ink. Maybe because they thought ink would look sketchy. Back then, most people did not like sketchy art, be in the modern world, now we do.
Hope this helps!
