Arthur Tress
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Arthur Tress is a notable American photographer born on November 24,
1940 in Brooklyn, New York. He is well known for his staged surrealism and
exposition of the human body.
First photograph at age 12. Arthur Tress' first subjects were circus
freaks and dilapidated buildings around Coney Island where he grew up. The
youngest of three children in a divorced family, Arthur spent time in his
early life with both of his parents: his father who re-married and lived
in an upper class neighbourhood, and his mother, who remained single after
the divorce and whose life was not nearly so luxurious. In high school, he
also studied the art of painting.
After graduating from Bard College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in
1962, Arthur moved to Paris, France to attend Film School. While living in
France, Arthur traveled to many locations, including Japan, Africa,
Mexico, and through most of Europe. While on these journeys, he observed
many secluded tribes and cultures. He was fascinated by the roles played
by the shaman of the different people groups he visited. The cultures he
was introduced to would play a permanent role in his later work.
