CREATORS

* Cervin Robinson (American, 1928–2022)  - artist
Born May 18, 1928. Photographer, historian, and critic Cervin Robinson is considered one of the most distinguished American architectural scholars. Born in Boston to an architect and his wife, Robinson's interest in topography, perspective, and the cultural significance of cities and buildings developed at the encouragement of his father and grew during his two-year duty in the U.S. Army. After earning a B.A. in English literature from Harvard University (1950), he worked as an assistant to Walker Evans in New York (1953-57), an experience that further sparked his fascination with American architecture. Over the years he has received numerous commissions from historical societies, the Library of Congress, architects and architectural magazines, and the film industry. Robinson's still photographs served as backdrops for Superman the Movie and Superman II. Robinson lectures and writes regularly for various architectural and academic periodicals, and has taught architectural photography at Columbia University. He has received a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (1971) and directed a project funded by the National Endowment for the Arts/New York State Council on the Arts (1978). In 1978 he was named a J. Clauson Mills Scholar. In 1989 the Cleveland Museum of Art organized Cervin Robinson: Cleveland, Ohio, an exhibition and catalogue of black-and-white views of the city commissioned by the museum. Robinson lives in New York. A. W.
