About the Item
Vintage black and white silver gelatin print, 1978, American 4th July.
Elaine Mayes, born 1936, is an American photographer and a retired professor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
Beginning in 1968, she taught at the University of Minnesota, and in 1971 joined Jerome Liebling as part of the founding faculty at Hampshire College, where she taught for ten years. Her students included documentary filmmakers Ken Burns, Michel Negroponte, Roger Sherman, Buddy Squires and Kirk Simon and Karen Goodman.[2][3] In 2009 Hampshire established an endowment in Mayes' name to support student projects in film, photography, and video. Mayes also taught at Pratt Institute, The International Center of Photography, Bard College and New York University where she retired as Chair of the Photography Department in the Tisch School of the Arts in 2000.
Known for her portraits of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury residents in 1967-8 and for her iconic images of rock and roll performers in the late 1960s, Mayes' subject matter has also included landscapes and conceptual projects including her series, Autolandscapes, made with a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship from a moving car while traveling across the country in 1971. She also photographed the New York downtown rock scene of the 1980s. In 1982 she received a New York State CAPS grant. In 1985 she and No Theater of Northampton received a Massachusetts State Foundation for the Arts grant in support of a collaborative work, 'Photoplay.'
Mayes' photographic work is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia and a number of other art institutions across the United States.
