In Homage To...
Jerry Uelsmann
Jerry Uelsmann was born in Detroit in 1934 and trained at the Rochester Institute of Technology and Indiana University. He has taught at the University of Florida in Gainesville since 1960.
He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1967 and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1972. His work has been exhibited widely and is in major collections worldwide.
His work makes use of multiple images, painstakingly merged in the darkroom long before this became easy on the computer. He has always worked with symbols of life and birth in many of his pictures. He also makes use of photographically negative images in his montages, often producing mysterious and enigmatic results.
He contributed a chapter on his darkroom methods to the Lustrum Press 'Darkroom' book (1977) and has published a number of books of his own work.
