Robert Shiverts

The spirit of my work has been kindled not only by photographers but with equal intensity by the dada and surrealist painters and poets. Painters and poets from these movements who have influenced my work are Andre Breton, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Hans Arp. There have been several photographers, though, who have helped shape the actual photographic images which are decisive for me—in particular Ray Metzker, Harry Callahan, and Aaron Siskind.

Robert Shiverts has been a professional photographer for more than 20 years. He studied privately for 4 years with Arthur Bell (a first generation student of Callahan and Siskind) and was director of photography at Oscar and Associates for ten years. He is now Principal of Robert Shiverts Photography since 2017.
