Great Black and White photographers Part 2

Jerry Uelsmann

Jerry Uelsmann was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 11, 1934. Jerry is an American photographer. His photo-montages are the most significant silver printmaking achievement of the sixties. No current photographer has successfully imitated Uelsmann's eclectic vision, but his influence can be traced widely to photographers. 
In 1957, he graduated from the Rochester Institute , Uelsmann entered Indiana University's graduate school, to study audio-visual communication. He began work as a graduate assistant in the laboratory at Indiana, but decided that this was not the right field for him. In 1958, he transferred to the Department of Art, where he undertook intensive studies in art history and collaborated with another student to produce a five-part series on photography for a local educational television station.
