The New Californians: Photographs by Judy Dater
11:00 AM
Sonoma Valley Museum of Art
Description:
Exhibition 05.13.23 - 09.03.23 Wed-Sun 11am-5pm
Judy Dater was born in Hollywood, California in 1941 and grew up in Los Angeles. Her father owned a movie theater, so movies became the prism through which she viewed the world and they had a profound influence on her photography. She attended UCLA, majoring in Art. In 1962 she moved to San Francisco and completed her education at San Francisco State University, majoring in photography. She became part of the community of the west coast school of photography, primarily represented by the photographers Ansel Adams, Edward and Brett Weston, Wynn Bullock and Imogen Cunningham.

Dater’s portraits of Californians reflect the diversity and cultural richness that immigrant, indigenous and itinerant residents contribute to our beloved state. She writes, “We are a typical cross-section of people residing in the San Francisco Bay Area; and we reflect, in microcosm, the population pool of the entire state. People have been drawn from all over the world to the fabled state of California, bringing with them cultural riches I welcome and love”.
