Robert A. Huss has been deeply involved in photography for over thirty-five years as a practitioner and teacher. He has had numerous one-man and group shows and is represented in both public and private collections to include the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton and the Newark Museum’s permanent collections. Mr. Huss is a recipient of a New Jersey State Council on the Arts grant, which helped to initiate the Pine Barrens Photographic Project, a widely acclaimed photographic study of the million-acre Pine Barrens region of New Jersey. This three-year project is considered the most exhaustive study of this region ever undertaken and it has traveled widely in exhibition.
Mr. Huss studied fine art black & white photography and printing with the likes of Ansel Adams, Todd Walker, and Morley Baer and has studied the graphic arts, including photography, at the City University of New York where he got his first opportunity to teach photography. He prefers, however, to hold small workshops where he can maximize the one on one interaction. Although he has studied with numerous artists throughout the country he attributes most of his knowledge to years of self-study efforts. Appearing in the “American Artists of Renown” he is celebrated as an accomplished silver process black & white photographic artist. Mr. Huss is currently discovering and sharing the world of fine art digitized color photography as well. Although his first significant work was produced in 1966, a film documentary on the Berlin Wall’s fifth anniversary, Mr. Huss didn’t realize till four years later that the medium of still photography would be his choice of communication with the world.
Exhibitions include the New Jersey State Museum, the East Rockaway Museum, the Newark Museum, the Montclair State College Art Gallery, the Soho Photo Gallery, the Sea Cliff Gallery, the Woodman Gallery, the Princeton Library, the Barron Arts Center, and others.
