Morley Baer
Morley Baer (April 5, 1916 – November 9, 1995) was an American photographer and teacher, born in Toledo, Ohio.
Baer learned basic commercial photography in Chicago but subsequently honed his skills as a World War II Navy combat photographer. Returning to civilian life an accomplished professional, over the next few years he developed into “one of the foremost architectural photographers in the world,"〔Baer, 1988〕 receiving important commissions from some of the premier architects in post-war Central California. In the early 1970s, very much influenced by a strong friendship with Edward Weston, Baer began to concentrate on his personal landscape art photography. During the last decades of the 20th century, Baer also became a sought-after instructor in various colleges and workshops teaching the art of landscape photography.
==Early life and education==
Morley Baer was born to Clarence Theodore Baer and Blanche Evelyn Schwetzer Baer,〔Application for Birth Certificate copy – UCSC Archives〕 and led an active outdoor life growing up in Toledo. He attended the University of Toledo in 1934 and later transferred to the University of Michigan, from where he graduated in 1937 with a BA in English. He continued there in graduate school and earned an MA in Theater Arts in 1938.〔NEA Grant Application, 1960 – UCSC Archives〕 Baer soon found a well-paying but dull job in the advertising office of the Chicago department store Marshall Field's, but soon apprenticed as a low-paid menial assistant, at a greatly reduced salary, to a Michigan Avenue commercial photography company.〔Letter to Lian Hurst Mann, Editor, "Architecture California", 28 Feb 1992 – UCSC Archives〕 He shortly was photographing in the field, and developing and printing photographs.
Along with two associates, Baer was sent on assignment to Colorado in 1939. Baer had seen an exhibition of Edward Weston’s photographs at the Katherine Kuh Galleries in January of that year, and became enamored at the sparse elegance of Weston's black-and-white prints. He resolved to meet Weston and extended his trip west to California to meet him at his studio in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The two did not meet, but Baer made the most of the trip by visiting San Francisco, the Monterey Peninsula, and the small village of Carmel.
