Notes


Les Klug (United States, 1930-1988), Flute 
 
Les Klug used photography in unconventional ways to manipulate the visual content in his black and white photographs. Through the use of analog processes such as solarization and double exposures, he created imaginative compositions, often combining multiple images that play with one's sense of reality and create various visual illusions. In the mid-1980s, Les Klug was among the early artists to experiment with digital technology.

Les Klug attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he majored in chemical engineering, before putting his studies on hold during a tour in the Army. After returning to Madison, he began a job managing the darkroom at the University of Wisconsin Union and eventually dropped out of school. He was also hired by the university's Department of Education to construct a slide library, and during this period he began to use the darkroom facilities regularly and to spend time around the students and faculty of the Department of Art. In the early 1970s he moved to Chicago, where he devoted himself fully to photography and began teaching at Northeastern Illinois University. A substantial body of Klug's work is held in the Wisconsin Artists Collection at Carroll University.
