John Bernhard
John Bernhard (born May 17, 1957, Geneva, Switzerland) is a Swiss American artist and photographer best known for his surrealist nude studies. Rather than merely showing women’s bodies, Bernhard overlaid elements of the earth through projections and worked with myths of metamorphosis as a subtext for his model photography. The resulting images include allusions to the material by which the models are absorbed or into which they disappear.

Bernhard’s work was included in the 120 year survey of the nude exhibition “Body Work” at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, alongside the work of Edward Weston, Bill Brandt, Eadweard Muybridge, E. J. Bellocq, and Edward Steichen. Bernhard later continued to devote all his energy taking photographs and bringing them together to enhance their meaning with visual interplay. This is evident in his “Diptychs” and sequencing series “Drift”.
His first non-fiction book, ''America’s Call'', an engaging road trip memoir, was published in 2011 by Dog Ear Publishing. The french version ''L’Appel de L’Amérique'', illustrated with 57 color photographs and collages, was published in 2013 by Infolio Edition, Switzerland. ''America’s Call'' is based on the journal that John Bernhard kept, chronicling his trip to North America during the late 1970s. The theme resonates with the book ''On the Road'' by Jack Kerouac, and makes you yearn for traveling across a nostalgic time. Houston Chronicle journalist K. Pica Kahn wrote: “Bernhard’s way of storytelling takes the audience on the ride of a lifetime with a mélange of experiences like a colorful ribbon in the sky.”
He was profiled in the documentary show “Temps Present” on Swiss Television TSR (Switzerland) and the global network TV5 Monde. His work is widely published and exhibited throughout the U.S. and Europe. His photographs are collected by many museums including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Akron Art Museum, Ohio; Denver Art Museum; Musée de l'Élysée, (Official site )〔:fr:Musee de l'Elysee〕 Lausanne, Switzerland; Museet for Fotokunst, (Official site ) Denmark; the New Mexico Museum of Art; Polk Museum of Art, Florida and the Swiss National Library, Bern. His work was shown in 2004 as a major mid-career retrospective exhibition at the Musée des Suisses dans le Monde〔:fr:Musee des Suisses a l'etranger〕 in Geneva. John Bernhard lives and works in Houston, Texas.
