artist_biographical note:
|
Born in 1932 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Michals graduated from the University of Denver with a B.A. in 1953, and since that time his awards and accomplishments are almost too numerous to count. After college, Michals began working as a magazine designer, then, during a trip to Russia, started taking pictures. As a photographer, Michals entered a world in which the medium was dominated by documentary and portraiture. Michals' interests in photography lay elsewhere. Influenced more by poetry and painting than other photographers, his exhibitions featured narratives, told in a sequence of shots. Radical at the time, Michals said that at his first show at the Underground Gallery in New York City in 1963, half the people walked out. Since that time, his work has been shown in twenty countries, and is collected in forty-one museums in twenty-three states and twenty-eight museums abroad. He holds an honorary doctorate from The Art Institute of Boston and one in Bratislava. Michals never learned traditional photographic methods, and that lack of education has contributed, he believes, to his success. In his own words, he never had to "unlearn" anything and was therefore always free to be different. He was the first photographer to use double exposure, and often altered the images with paint and writing to further enhance the images. In an interview, Michals compared most photographers to newspaper reporters, content to remain impassionate eyes, and himself to a short-story writer: one who carefully and self-consciously shapes the image being captured.
