Portfolio

The Bob Mizer Foundation proudly concludes its "So It Begins…" series with a comprehensive retrospective that charts the influential career of Bob Mizer (1922-1992), a visionary whose innovative approach transformed the realm of photographic portraiture. Spanning three distinct segments, this exhibition journey traces Mizer's artistic evolution, beginning with his initial forays into capturing American subcultures and leading up to the vibrant color advancements characterizing his later pieces.
