JON GROOVER RESEARCH

JON GROOVER

Jon groover was born on the 24th of April 1943 and died on the 1st of January 2012.
She was a American photographer who lived for many years in France with her husband Brue Boice.
She received a Bachelor of fine arts degree in 1965 from Pratt institute and a master of arts in 1970 from Ohio state University. 
She was noted for her use or color emerging technologies. In 1979 she begun using platinum/palladium prints for portraits and still life's, transforming everyday items into beautiful formal still life's.

 

Her work was the subject of a mid career retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1987 for which an accompanying cataloge was printed. Her work has been subject of one - person exhibitions at the Baltimore of Art ; Cleveland Museum of Art. 

I like her work and find it very interesting the way she uses different textures and shapes.
