Connor Everts: Biographical Sketch
Connor Everts was born in Bellingham, Washington in 1928 and spent his early childhood living in the major port cities of the Pacific coast. After World War II, he studied art at the Chouinard Art Institute and universities in California, Washington, Mexico and England. Everts, widely exhibited in the United States and overseas, was instrumental in the founding of the Los Angeles Printmaking Society, and among the first guest artists at the Tamarind Workshop.
Evert's work is in numerous corporate and public collections including the Museums of Modern Art in New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo, the Art Institute of Chicago, Brooklyn Museum, Detroit Institute of Arts, Flint Institute of Arts, the Library of Congress, Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Milwaukee Museum of Art, the National Collection, Washington, D. C. and others.
Over the years Everts taught at many art schools along the west coast and completed his final teaching assignment at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI 1976-1981.
Evert's art mirrors his interest in Gestalt psychology -- the making of a whole from disparate parts or dissimilar bits of information. The artist places these incongruent elements, most plucked from the flotsam of contemporary living, within shallow space creating a tableau of shifting relationships.
Connor Everts, one of Southern California's most significant artists, passed away peacefully on April 23, 2016 in his Torrance home surrounded by family and loved ones. He was 88 years old.
