Richard Sexton (born 1954 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an author, fine art and media photographer, teacher, and critic of the urban built environment based in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is best known for his architectural photography publications and exhibitions. == Career == Sexton began photographing as an undergraduate at Emory University. After graduating from Emory in 1975, he moved to San Francisco and enrolled in classes at the San Francisco Art Institute. Sexton's first photographic book project, ''American Style: Classic Product Design from Airstream to Zippo,'' was published by Chronicle Books in 1987. As book projects became a mainstay of his career, Sexton authored ''The Cottage Book'', which documented the tradition of cottage living in the San Francisco area. He was featured in a 1989 ''New York Times'' article on the expanding cottage architecture trend. Collaborating with architectural historian Randolph Delehanty, Sexton also authored ''In the Victorian Style'', showcasing San Francisco's domestic Victorian architecture. Sexton moved to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1991, where he worked with Delehanty on ''New Orleans: Elegance and Decadence'', a photo essay with extended captions characterizing New Orleans’ rich history. The book has remained consistently in print since its first publishing. In 1997, Sexton curated the exhibit "Sidney Bechet: A World of Jazz 1897-1997" for the Bechet Centennial Committee, which commemorated the centennial of jazz musician Sidney Bechet's birth. Sexton's Terra Incognita monograph of Gulf Coast landscapes received critical acclaim, including a 2008 award from ''Louisiana Cultural Vistas'' magazine〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities )〕 and a review in the ''Village Voice''. Terra Incognita is accompanied by a traveling exhibit, which has been displayed at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, and the Polk Museum of Art. Additionally, Sexton's book ''New Roads and Old Rivers'' was named "The New Must-Have Coffee Table Book" in August 2012 by Southern Living's The Daily South blog. In February 2014, Sexton published his 12th book, ''Creole World: Photographs of New Orleans and the Latin Caribbean Sphere''. The book received favorable reviews in the ''Times-Picayune'', ''Advocate'' and the Monroe, La. ''News-Star'' newspapers, as well as in ''Garden & Gun'' magazine's Daily Shot blog. In August 2014, the New York Review of Books and the Wall Street Journal reviewed ''Creole World'', noting the architectural and cultural similarities between the cities of New Orleans, Cartagena, Quito, Cap-Haitien and others. Sexton’s photographs are included in the collections at the Historic New Orleans Collection, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Polk Museum of Art, the LSU Museum of Art in the Shaw Center for the Arts, and others. His work has been frequently exhibited in the U.S. and published in Europe, and has also appeared in ''Smithsonian magazine'', ''Preservation magazine'', ''Southern Accents'' magazine, ''Photographer’s Forum'', and ''View Camera''. In addition to his publishing career, Sexton occasionally teaches photography at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts and conducts independent workshops. He lectures frequently at conferences and events around the U.S. 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「Richard Sexton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
