Jones, Pirkle (American photographer and teacher, 1914-2009)
|
Note: Born 2 January 1914. Jones began to photograph in 1930. From 1946 to 1949, Jones studied photography with Ansel Adams and Minor White at the California School of Fine Arts, now the San Francisco Art Institute. From 1949, Jones worked as a freelance photographer in San Francisco, California. In 1947, he photographed the architecture of Bernard Maybeck in San Francisco, California. From 1949 to 1952, Jones worked as an assistant to photographer Ansel Adams in San Francisco, California. From 1953 to 1958, he was an instructor of photography at the California School of Fine Arts, and since 1970, he was an instructor of photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. In 1956, Jones collaborated with photographer Dorothea Lange on a project to document the flooding of the Berryessa Valley, California, to form a reservoir. The resulting book entitled 'Death of a Valley' was published in 1960. In 1964, Jones photographed the town of Walnut Grove, California. He documented the Black Panthers in 1968, and exhibited the photographs at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. The photographs were published in book form as “Black Panthers,” with an introduction by Kathleen Cleaver. |
