[photo of ?] BERN PORTER

Bern Porter's background is as American as his thinking. Born of a pioneer Maine family, he was educated in the public schools of Houlton, graduated from Colby College and later attended Brown University, where in 1933 he received a Master's degree in Physics. Following college he studied privately and traveled extensively before joining the research staff of the Acheson Corporation in New York. With the coming of World War II he was requested by the U. S. Government to serve on the atomic bomb projects at Princeton, Oakridge, and the University of California. The direction of a craftsman's guild, a west-coast cultural center and an internationally-known publishing house have occupied him since 1945. Widely known for his own researches and extensive writing in the fields of experimental design, art, photography, and literature, Bern Porter has gained an understanding of the creative urge, work and direction of his contemporaries in many countries. To him cultural developments in all fields of creative endeavor not only forage thresholds of new experience, but open fresh approaches to true reality.
