Artist Biography: Harold Zegart was an aerial photographer in the United States Navy from 1943 to 1946. After discharge, he studied photography at the Chicago Institute of Design and the CSFA. He then pursued a professional career in both still photography and film. Photographic projects included documenting the impact of modernization on Portuguese and Italian immigrants in the fishing industry along the Sacramento River, longshoremen in San Francisco, and Indian healers in Miguel de Allende, Mexico (created on a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1970). He also photographed for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Fortune magazines as well as for numerous advertising accounts. He worked on films with Robert Zinnemann, Richard Leacock, Willard Van Dyke and others. From 1964 to 1970 he was a cameraman for the Magic Theater in Berkeley. In the 1970’s his emphasis shifted to painting, which he continues to do today.
