An Evening with Matthew Rolston, moderated by Art Streiber
Thursday, October 2nd, 7:30-9 p.m.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
Matthew Rolston (www.matthewrolston.com) was born and raised in Los Angeles under a spell cast by the myth of Hollywood. He studied drawing and painting at “nearly every art school in California,” among them: Otis Parsons, in Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Art Institute. Later, his studies took him to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where he developed his talents as a photographer.
Matthew Rolston
His still photography work for prestigious magazines, including Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, and Rolling Stone, highlighted his visual panache and control of detail. Virtually every celebrity from the film, music, and television arenas have been captured to perfection by Rolston. His photographs have been exhibited at galleries across the country, internationally, at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., and at the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York. In addition, a collection of his photographs, "Big Pictures," was published in 1991 by Bullfinch Press.
Rolston has now expanded his savvy for classic composition and style by working as a director, creating iconic music videos for artists such as Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, Faith Hill, Beyonce Knowles, and Mary J. Blige, among many others. He has also created influential commercial campaigns for the likes of L’Oreal, Revlon, Gap, Old Navy, Polo, Levi’s, and Milk.
His work remains infused by a coterie of influences: the famed photographer George Hurrell, early Hollywood director Josef von Sternberg, and costume designers Adrian and Travis Banton, all of whom, according to Rolston, "invented Hollywood style".
