Dearborn-Massar was a mid 20th century American firm specializing in architectural photography founded by Phyllis Dearborn (1916–2011) and Robert J. Massar (1915–2002). ==Background of founders== Phyllis Dearborn was born in 1916 and raised in Seattle, Washington.〔 She graduated with a degree in liberal arts from the University of Washington in 1937.〔 She went on to study photography at the Clarence H. White School of Photography.〔〔 Her style was influenced by the F/64 group of photographers that coalesced around Ansel Adams, with whom she took courses at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She was admired for the formal precision and balance of her photographic compositions.〔〔At one point, she went to Italy to document photographically the architectural work of Andrea Palladio and Filippo Brunelleschi.〔 In the mid 1960s, Dearborn began volunteering in the prints and photographs department at the Metropolitan Museum, developing into a scholar of European prints.〔 She occasionally curated exhibitions of prints and photographs in New York, and she was a participant in the New York Photo League's major 1948 retrospective.〔 She published art historical articles and monographs,〔 notably several articles and a book on the 17th century Italian printmaker Stefano della Bella.〔〔 She also frequently contributed photographs to articles by other scholars. She was a good friend of the photographer Imogen Cunningham〔 and of the architectural historian Esther McCoy,〔 with whom she shared an interest in Italian architecture. A native of Washington state, Robert J. Massar received his bachelor's degree in architecture from the University of Washington in 1940.〔 Dearborn and Massar married, setting up houses in New York, where they lived in the winter, and Seattle, where they lived in the summer.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dearborn-Massar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
