Gift of the artist
|
The Museum's collection of 180 images by this
internationally acclaimed photographer portrays the diversity of
culture, wildlife, flora, and landscape of six continents and
more than 60 countries. His approach to photography ranges from
the pictorial to photojournalism. His images have universal
appeal and exhibit a mastery of the technical complexities of
the medium, and he shares with his viewers an inspired vision of
the world of nature in all its diverse and awesome beauty.
Using a 35 mm., single lens, reflex camera, the artist produces
color photographs in Cibachrome, C-prints, and Fuji display
prints. The most age stable color material available today,
these films differ from conventional color imaging in that all
dyes are already present in the materials at the time of
manufacture.Robinson is a graduate
of the University of South Carolina and the Harvard Graduate
School of Business. He studied photography with Cole Weston,
Jay Maisel, William Neill, Arnold Newman, and Phillip Hyde.
Since 1960 he has exhibited throughout the world, winning 25
gold medals for "Best of Show" in International Photography
Salons. He was awarded the title of EFIAP (Artist of
Excellence) by the Federation Internationale de l'Art
Photographique, and he received the Photograph Society of
America's Galaxy Award.
