Nicholas Hlobeczy was a museum photographer. Now he pursues
his own photography and gives photography workshops. His
photographs are from natural subjects, and are as much about
the revelation of the creative process as they are about the
clarity of the finished print. He was decidedly influenced
by his friend and teacher, Minor White. The Gurdjieff
Teaching has been key to his development.
Born in Rankin, Pennsylvania, Hlobeczy studied at the
Pittsburgh Institute of Art (1945-46) and the Cleveland
Institute of Art (B.F.A. in painting, 1952) and then with
Minor White (1961-76), coordinating Minor's Cleveland-based
workshops in 1963-66 and assisting in two workshops in
Hotchkiss, New York. Hlobeczy worked as a lithographer for
the Photo Litho Plate Company in Cleveland from 1955-67,
before moving to become head of the Cleveland Museum of
Art's photography department, a position he held until 1990.
He taught photography at Case Western Reserve University
(1970-87 and 1990-1996) and conducts private workshops. He
garnered first prize at the Yolo International 1964, and was
included in "Photography in the Twentieth Century", Horizon
Press 1967. |
