Jeff Nixon
"Yosemite" - Black & White Landscape Photograph AP

1987

About the Item

Beautiful black and white landscape photograph titled "Yosemite," by Jeff Nixon (American, 20th Century). A mountain range stands high against a cloudless sky and above a forest reflected in a pond below. Signed "Jeff Nixon AP, Yosemite '87," on verso. Presented in a new white mat, 16"H x 20"W. Jeff Nixon began photographing in the late 1960's, and by the end of the millennium had acquired an impressive list of credentials; many years as a year round resident of Yosemite Valley, noted instructor in the techniques of black and white photography which he gleaned from his years of working with Ansel Adams, and learning the Zone System from the master himself. Jeff has been an instructor for two California Junior Colleges, Modesto and Columbia, has led extension courses for UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley, and taught and lectured in numerous seminars and classes. He has taught workshops and has had many showings nationwide, working with Morley Baer, Chris Rainier, Rod Dresser, and John Sexton as either field or darkroom assistant. He was also the production and research assistant for the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust, Carmel Highlands, from 1990 to 1995. Nixon is well known for his striking black and white photographs of Yosemite, Big Sur, the Monterey area, Death Valley, and a multitude of other locations, wherever his 4x5 cameras can be directed. Over the last few years, Nixon has also put his energies into digital work, finding new avenues for his 45+ years of experience. Trained by Ansel Adams, Morley Baer, and a host of contemporary photographers, Nixon's work is varied, but is kept within the comfort of old-school ethics. Nixon now makes the Monterey Peninsula his home, finding great inspiration and subject matter to keep his photography energized. Nixon’s work is represented in a number of private collections, as well as several museums and galleries, such as the Levin Gallery in Monterey. Nixon has found great assistance through his business contacts and contemporaries. His work has branched out to include various forms of commercial work, interior design, and product photography.

    Stunning 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.

Werling has exhibited his photographs in over sixty one-man and group shows in both the United States and Europe.
