Hear about Art and Life from 2022 Art Farm Juror, Kurt FishbackOur guest speaker for October's Salon Series is California artist, Kurt Fishback. Kurt is the juror of YoloArts’ 15th annual Art Farm Exhibition this year, bringing his vast experience in a wide variety of mediums - from ceramics to painting to photography. Kurt will talk about how the fine arts became the focus of his life philosophically and financially. He will share images of his work throughout six decades of creating and exhibiting, and stories about his life as an artist and educator.
Kurt Edward Fishback, son of photographer Glen Fishback and name-sake of photographer Edward Weston, grew up as part of the photographic community in Northern California during the 1940's and 50's. Mentors and friends of the family included Ansel Adams, Wynn Bullock, and Edward Weston. Despite his immersion in the world of photography, Fishback began his artistic career studying ceramic sculpture at Sacramento City College, the San Francisco Art Institute and the University of California, Davis in the 60's. He first began to experiment with photography in 1962 as a way to document his experiences with other sculptors, but it was not until 1973, when his father invited him to teach at the Glen Fishback School of Photography, that photography became Fishback's primary mode of expression. Kurt continues to teach photography when he is not too busy maintaining his own artistic career. His first two major, one-person exhibitions were held at the Crocker Art Museum in 1981 and the San Francisco Museum of Modern art in 1983.
