Hlobeczy (American, 1927–2007) - artist Nicholas C. Hlobeczy American, 1927-2007. Nicholas Hlobeczy was a photographer, curator, and educator. His black-and-white and color photographs, detailing natural subjects, are as much about the revelation of the creative process as they are about the clarity of the finished print. His ideology was decidedly influenced by his longtime friend and teacher, Minor White. Born in Swissvale, Pennsylvania, Hlobeczy studied at the Pittsburgh Institute of Art (1945-46) and the Cleveland Institute of Art (B.F.A. in painting, 1952) and then with White (1961-76), coordinating White's Cleveland-based workshops in 1963-66 and assisting in two workshops in Hotchkiss, New York. Hlobeczy worked as a lithographer for the Photo Litho Plate Company in Cleveland from 1955-67, before moving to become head of the Cleveland Museum of Art's photography department, a position he held until 1990. He taught photography at Case Western Reserve University (1970-87 and 1990-present) and conducted private workshops. Starting in 1952 Hlobeczy was a regular participant in the Cleveland Museum of Art's May Show, a regional juried exhibition, and won several awards. He also garnered first prize at the Yolo International in 1964.
