About the Item
A beautiful black and white photograph of the ship "Balclutha" in dock, with Coit Tower in the background by famed San Francisco photographer Gene Wright (American, 20th Century). Image, 13.75"H x 5.5"W.
Early in his career, worked for a number of Utah newspapers and had his own studios in Ogden, as well as Montpelier, Idaho. Mr. Wright was rejected for World War II service because of what his wife, Elizabeth Wright, called his "bad feet," but his "contribution to the war effort was photographing wives and girlfriends who wanted to send photos to their loved ones who were in the war." Wright moved to San Francisco in 1949 to work as a photographer for Southern Pacific Railroad and to experiment with a unique panoramic camera. In the 1950s, he opened a photo studio in the heart of North Beach. He spent a half century documenting the flavor and changing forms of the city he adored -- the vanishing alleys and rising Transamerica Pyramid, cable cars that seem to float in space, plunging streets, fog-shrouded bridges, Italian barbershop singers and beret-wearing Beats. A SF treasure, he was presented the Key to SF, and was named a living legend by the SF Board of Supervisors in 2002. In 2015, a coffee table book was published featuring more than 150 of Wright's photographs: "San Francisco Love Affair."

- Sierra Mountain Reflections - Black & White Landscape PhotographBy Robert WerlingLocated in Soquel, CAStunning black & white landscape photograph with trees reflecting in water in the Sierra Nevada mountains by California artist Robert Werling. Signed on mat lower right: "Bob Werling." Presented in a silver metal frame. Image, 15"H x 19"W. Robert Werling was born in San Francisco, California in 1946 and realized an interest in art at an early age. While briefly attending a commercial art school, he found photography to be his medium and went on to obtain both a BA and an honorary MS from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. He also studied privately under Ansel Adams from 1966 to 1970 and Imogen Cunningham from 1969 to 1975. Through his affiliation with Adams, Werling came to know and work with other noted photographers. Brett Weston became his close friend and mentor and Marion Post Wolcott, relying on his darkroom expertise, entrusted her negatives to his printing genius. While creating an impressive number of his own fine art prints, Werling also lectured extensively and worked as an instructor for the Brooks Institute, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Zone System Seminars and Workshops in the United States, and for the Werkschule fur Fotografie in Soltau, Germany. Werling has exhibited his photographs in over sixty one-man and group shows in both the United States and Europe. He was guest curator of photography for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art organizing VIVO, the Contemporary Japanese Photography and Brett Weston’s photographs...Category
