SUMMARY:Community Conversation: Art Nager\, photographer Adult Photo / Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Register. \nThroughout a 50 – year career as an artist and photo educator\, Arthur Nager has focused on documenting the social landscape\, the people\, structures and places that reflect the character of where and how we live. His goal has been to capture the details of our evolving culture to convey what is timeless and constant in our lives. \nThis presentation includes a survey of his black and white photographs from the 70’s made during trips across the country that capture aspects of the unique cultural landscape and the evolving photographic approach to the medium of the time. \nArthur Nager’s work incorporates chance\, circumstance\, and premonition with the element of irony. Relying on intuition\, he enables the viewer to experience a moment in time – to look past the initial painterly impact of color\, scale\, and form\, to extract meaning that is sometimes implied or disguised. \nNager’s work is part of educational and museum collections including The International Museum of Photography at The George Eastman House; The South Street Seaport Museum; Museum of Art\, Santa Cruz and the Kennebunk Museum in Maine.\nHis recent exhibit in 2025 at the Mattatuck Museum featured work documenting the towns of the Naugatuck Valley from 1988 – 2024. \nAbout Arthur Nager:\nArthur Nager earned his MFA in photography from Visual Studies Workshop and a BA in History and Psychology from the University of Rochester. Early in his career\, he worked at the George Eastman House and studied under Nathan Lyons and Syl Labrot. He taught at the Center of the Eye and Anderson Ranch Arts Center before becoming Director of the Photography Program at the University of Bridgeport\, where he expanded the curriculum and organized a photography lecture series featuring renowned artists such as Arnold Newman and Mary Ellen Mark. \nNager has exhibited widely\, including at the Mattatuck Museum\, Trinity College\, the Ilon Gallery\, and the FaheyBodell Umbrella Arts Gallery. His work\, which captures the evolving social landscape and architectural transformations\, is in the collections of institutions such as the George Eastman House and the South Street Seaport Museum. A recipient of numerous grants\, including a National Endowment for the Humanities Grant\, he continues to create\, exhibit\, and teach in Connecticut and NYC. \nTo learn more about Arthur Nager: https:www.arthurnager.com \n
