He took jobs as a book buyer at Brentano's, a publicity director at Grove Press and a photographers' agent. Throughout his early years in New York, he aspired to be a composer and composed songs including settings of poetry by E. E. Cummings, Wallace Stevens and Rainer Maria Rilke. The songs were ultimately performed by Eleanor Steber and Patricia Neway. New Songs, a compilation of Gruen's work, was released in 1950 and was the first record issued by Elektra Records. He became friends with composer Virgil Thomson which inspired Gruen to contribute music reviews to the New York Herald Tribune, later becoming part of its staff in addition to acting as the paper's art critic. Using his shortened name John Gruen, he later went on to write for The New York Times, as well as being appointed as the first chief art critic of the magazine New York. Later in his career with the paper, he became a dance critic as well. Among Gruen's books are The Private World of Leonard Bernstein (1968), The Private World of Ballet (1975), Menotti: A Biography (1978), Erik Bruhn: Danseur Noble (1979), The World's Great Ballets (1981), People Who Dance: 22 Dancers Tell Their Own Stories (1988), The New Bohemia (1990), and Keith Haring: The Authorized Biography (1992) (translated into Italian). He published his autobiography, Callas Kissed Me.Lenny Too!: A Critic's Memoir, in 2008. As a photographer, Gruen used his full name to distinguish himself from another New York photographer named John Gruen. Gruen captured images of the creative icons in his social and professional circles including Yoko Ono, Jasper Johns, Larry Rivers, Leonard Bernstein and Willem de Kooning. Many of those photographs were later acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art and presented in a 2010 exhibition, "Facing the Artist: Portraits by John Jonas Gruen". The Sixties: Young in the Hamptons (2006) and Two Men (2013) are a themed collections of his photographs. In exceptionally good condition.
