About the artist: Born in a small Indiana farming community in 1953, Jeffrey Becom painted from an early age. He began to develop his photographic skills while earning a degree in architecture from the University of Cincinnati. After moving to San Francisco to practice, Becom opted out of an architectural career to immerse himself in a private obsession: observing, studying and recording with camera and paintbrush the wondrous color and detail of the simple houses of farmers and fishermen in remote Mediterranean villages and hill towns. Combining an architect’s love of geometry, pattern and texture with a painter’s sensitivity to color, light and composition, Becom spent a decade creating the series of photographs collected in his first book, Mediterranean Color (Abbeville Press, New York, 1990), with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Paul Goldberger. This book documents with camera and words, the fascinating history as well as myths behind the remarkable colors on the simple houses of farmers and fishermen. Becom’s work has also been showcased in “For the Colors”, an hour-long PBS (public television) documentary joining him in Italy in 1991. In 1993 Becom had a retrospective exhibition of oils, watercolors and photographs at The Octagon’s American Architectural Foundation galleries in Washington, D.C. Jeffrey Becom’s limited edition Ilfachrome (i.e. cibachrome) photographs, as well as his watercolors and oil paintings, are represented in public and private collections throughout the world.

He is best known for his photographs of the American South, especially his home state of Mississippi. His work is exhibited in museums across the United States. Birney Imes III was born in 1951 in Columbus, Mississippi. His father, Vinton Birney Imes, Jr., owned the town newspaper, The Commercial Dispatch. His mother is Nancy McClanahan Imes. He attended desegregated public schools in Columbus and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History in 1973. Growing up white in the South during the Civil Rights Movement helped shape his views on history and that is where his photography career originated from. Imes began photographing after graduation from college and is largely self-taught. In the mid-70s, he worked as a photographer for his family's newspaper in his hometown of Columbus.
