Dan Budnik 1933-2020
As a photojournalist, Dan Budnik is known for his photographs of artists, but also for his photo-documentation of the Civil Rights Movement and of Native Americans. Born in 1933 in Long Island, New York, Budnik studied with Charles Alston at the Art Students League of New York (1951-53) and began his photography career as Philippe Halsman’s assistant. Working at Magnum Photos (1957-64) in 1963, Budnik persuaded Life Magazine to have him create a long-term photo essay showing the seriousness of the Civil Rights Movement, documenting the Selma to Montgomery march and other historical Civil Rights moments. Budnik went on to photograph for premier publications such as Life, Fortune, Look, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and Vogue.
He has been a major contributor to eight Time-Life Wilderness and Great Cities series and received a 1973 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for his work on the Hudson River Ecology Project and a 1980 grant from the Polaroid Foundation for Big Mountain: Hopi-Navajo Forced Relocation.

Dan Budnik, (b. 1933-died 2020), whose career as a photographer has spanned more than half a century, was most recent recipient, in 1998, of the prestigious American Society of Media Photographers Honor Roll Award, an accolade previously accorded to such eminent photographers as Man Ray, Edward Steichen, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, André Kertész, Ernst Hass, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. After studying with Charles Alston at the Art Students League of New York (1951-53), Budnik began his career as a Magnum photographer.
His photo-essays have appeared in periodicals that include Art in America, LIFE Magazine, Fortune, The London Sunday Times, Magazine, Look, Modern Photography, Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, Réalités and Vogue. He has been a major contributor to many books, including six from the Time-Life Wilderness and Great Cities series. Budnik’s photographs appear in “The Museum: An Informal Introduction to The Museum of Modern Art” by Richard Schickel (1970). He is included in two seminal histories of photography: Nathan Lyons’ “Photography in the Twentieth Century” (1967) and “The Picture History of Photography from the Earliest Beginnings to the Present Day”, by Peter Pollack (1977).
Dan Budnik lives in Tucson, Arizona and is currently involved with creating a photographic record of ancient petroglyphs. Widely acclaimed for his photo-documentation of Native Americans (including his collaboration with Sandy Johnson on “The Book of Elders: The Life Stories of Great American Indians”, 1994), the Civil Rights Movement, and environmental issues. Budnik received a 1973 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for his work on the Hudson River Ecology project and a 1980 grant from the Polaroid Foundation for Big Mountain: Hopi-Navajo Forced Relocation.
The scope of Dan Budnik’s documentation of major 20th century artists has yet to be fully recognized. In addition to David Smith, he photographed Georgia O’Keeffe, Lee Bontecou, Alexander Calder, John Chamberlain, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Mark Rothko, and many others.
Dan Budnik’s photographs of David Smith first appeared as an April 5, 1963 photo essay for LIFE Magazine. They were first exhibited, in 1974, at the University Art Museum State University of New York, Albany, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York, and Rice University, Houston, Texas. The same exhibition circulated nationally under the auspices of the American Federation of Arts, from 1975-78. They have been widely published, and have become an essential part of the extensive body of literature on Smith. Twenty-four of Budnik’s photographs of Smith are reproduced in the catalogue of the current exhibition at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, David Smith: A Centennial.

Dan Budnik
Dan Budnik (Long Island NY, 1933 – Tucson AZ, 2020) studied painting at the Art Students’ League of New York. After being drafted, he started photographing the New York school of Abstracts Expressionist and Pop Artists in the mid-fifties, making it a primary focus for several decades. He made major photo-essays on Willem de Kooning and David Smith, among many other artists. It was his teacher Charles Alston at the Art Students’ League of New York, the first African American to teach at the League, who inspired his interest in documentary photography and the budding Civil Rights Movement. In 1957 he started working at Magnum Photos, New York, assisting several photographers, notably Cornell Capa, Burt Glinn, Eve Arnold, Ernst Haas, Eric Hartmann and Elliott Erwitt. In March 1958 Budnik travelled to live with the underground in Havana for 6 weeks during the Cuban revolution. Budnik continued to work with Magnum for half of his time, until joining as an associate member in 1963. In 1964 he left Magnum and continued specializing in essays for leading national and international magazines, focussing on civil and human rights, ecological issues and artists. Since 1970 Budnik has worked with the Hopi and Navaho traditional people of northern Arizona, and received for this work a National Endowment for the Arts Grant in 1973 and a Polaroid Foundation Grant in 1980. In 1998 he was the recipient of the Honor Roll Award of the American Society of Media Photographers.

Original serigraph print by Lon Megargee 1883 - 1960
Featured in "Hot Irons" by Oren Arnold and John Hale, 1940
Lon Megargee created this serigraph from his commission with Oren Arnold and John Hale to do their dust jacket for the book, " Hot Irons", 1940. Arnold and Hale wanted to establish a reference work, an "authority", with a entertaining history about the evolution of the brand. Megargee created a painting of a steer that was branded with the script, 2 Lazy 2 P. Surrounding the steer is a random display of famous brands of ranches in the Southwest. It was well received and must have prompted Megargee to create the likeness as a print.
The brand is described in chapter thirteen, page 207-208 and says, " Ed Stram, who was Arizona state veterinarian for sixteen years, fire-branded his cattle with this peculiar crest. It isn't peculiar unless you have an equally peculiar sense of humor. At a glance it appears to be just another typically unimaginative brand, but it has been used to make many a thousand girls blush, and a few thousand bashful young men as well".
COLLIER GALLERY, FINE ART ESTATE OF LON MEGARGEE
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Lon Megargee, at age 13, ran away from his upper class home and went West in 1896 led by his zest for the wild and adventuresome life. There he established a reputation as a cowboy painter and illustrator with work most associated with Arizona Brewing Company ads featuring humorous aspects of cowboy life.
In his youth, he worked as a free-lance cowboy, exhibition roper, poker dealer, and bronco buster in Arizona, and then went east again to study art in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and to New York at the Art Students League and Pratt Institute.
He returned to Arizona, living in Cave Creek, Salt River Canyon, Phoenix and the last years of his life near Sedona. His Phoenix home later became a popular hotel and dining place called the Hermosa Inn.
Megargee was a ranch owner and also did oil canvases of the places he loved and the cowboy life he admired. By 1910, he was among the earliest resident artists, and was probably the best known artist in Arizona. His name was first associated with a landscape series of 15 large murals for the Capitol Building, newly constructed just after Arizona became a state in 1912. Another one of his paintings, Elemental, was the first painting by an artist living in Arizona to be acquired for the Municipal Collection of Phoenix. These works were chosen from entries in the State Fair, where he continued to win prizes for figure and landscape painting.
From 1911 to 1953, he did numerous commission works for the Santa Fe Railroad, including a work titledNavajos Watching a Santa Fe Train. Between 1915 and 1930, he also painted in the Los Angeles area of California and had entries in the California State Fair. He died in Cottonwood, Arizona. After his death, theSaturday Evening Post had a double-page reproduction of his painting Cowboy's Dream.
Creator of the iconic logo for the Stetson Hat Company, " Last Drop From his Stetson", still in use today.

Megargee explored different mediums; printmaking captivated him in particular. The contrast of the black and white block print method captured perfectly his interpretation of a bold American West. The first print was produced around 1921 and culminated with the creation of “The Cowboy Builds a Loop” in 1933 with 28 images and poetry by his friend, Roy George. Megargee continued producing prints throughout the 1940s and early 50s.
At age 13, Lon Megargee came to Phoenix in 1896 following the death of his father in Philadelphia. For several years he resided with relatives while working at an uncle’s dairy farm and at odd jobs. He returned to Philadelphia in 1898 – 1899 in order to attend drawing classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Back in Phoenix in 1899, he decided at the age of 16 to try to make his living as a cowboy. Lon moved to the cow country of Wickenburg where he was hired by Tex Singleton’s Bull Ranch. He later joined the Three Bar Ranch . . . and, after a few years, was offered a job by Billy Cook...

'Route 66 Missouri: Former Antique Shop Sign, Phelps' photograph by T. Ferderbar
By Thomas Ferderbar
Located in Milwaukee, WI
In images such as this, the influence of Ansel Adams and the other members of the group f.64 is clearly evident. The group f.64 was intent on truth in the medium of photography, wanting to push the camera to see even more clearly than the human eye. To do this, they used the small aperture, marked by the f-stop 64, which allows the camera to have an expansive depth of field. In this image, the earthy and sensuous textures of the brick and stone walls stand in direct contrast to the clean lines and graphic finish of the Route 66 sign. Ferderbar's mastery of the camera as an instrument brings out these contrasts following the legacies of the earlier American masters.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I wanted to become a photographer at the age of 12, when my sister Grace gave me a Kodak Box Brownie camera for Christmas. (I still have that camera.) Since our family was quite poor, I built my first enlarger with an oatmeal box, while that same box camera was used as its lens.
In 1947, just after graduation from high school, I had the opportunity to travel to California by car and house trailer with my uncle, aunt and mother, and in the process to shoot my first pictures along Route 66. Then, after graduation from college, a stint in the army followed by photography school, I opened an advertising photography studio in 1954. For over four decades my staff and I earned numerous local, regional and national awards for our achievements in photography, including several "best of show" honors.
In 1958 I studied with renowned landscape photographer Ansel Adams at his Yosemite National Park workshop. In 1980, while still operating my advertising photography studio, I began a serious photographic study of the decaying artifacts along our country's former Mother Road, Route 66.
The former national highway route from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California was not a popular subject at the time, and so I filed away my transparencies, not knowing what I might ever do with them. However, as time passed Route 66 did become a topic of national interest, and upon my retirement in 1997, I once again returned to record the Mother Road's artifacts.
A number of my Yosemite series photographs are included in the Ansel and Virginia Adams collection at the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona at Tucson, and several of my Route 66 photographs and other subjects have been acquired by the Milwaukee Art Museum. At this time I am preparing a book of my photographic experiences along Route 66, from 1947 to the present.
