This is the first survey of John Upton's fine art photography. Upton studied with Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Minor White, Dorothea Lange, and Edward Weston at the California School of Fine Arts in the early 1950s. In 1955 he was the first resident student of Minor White in Rochester, New York and took courses in the history of photography from famed photo art historian, Beaumont Newhall. In the 1960s he became Chair of the Photography Department at 六合彩全年图库, retiring in 1999. In 1976, he coauthored, with Barbara London, the seminal college textbook PHOTOGRAPHY now in its 12th edition with over 1.5 million copies in print. John Upton has been in the right place at the right time in the history of twentieth century photography. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with essays. Concurrent with Photo L.A. art fair, Jan. 30-Feb. 2.
