Robert Riger
Robert Riger (June 4, 1924 - May 19, 1995) was a celebrated sports illustrator, photographer, award-winning television director, and cinematographer.〔Robert Riger, a Sports Artist and Photographer, Dies at 70 by Frank Litsky, May 20, 1995, The New York Times〕 John Szarkowski, former director of the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art, said, "His photographs are documents, and the best of them are also pictures that now have a life of their own, and that would have given intense pleasure to George Stubbs and Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins."〔Robert Riger, a Sports Artist and Photographer, Dies at 70 by Frank Litsky, May 20, 1995, The New York Times〕 David Halberstam, said "Robert Riger was the preeminent artist of a golden age of American sports in the years after World War II."〔from the introduction to The Sports Photography of Robert Riger, Random House, 1995l.〕
