(Continued Here) |
|
Fiume, Yugoslavia |
Massar grew up in a small town in
Ohio, with an insatiable curiosity to travel and see the world. He
served a stint as a U. S. Navy photographer, on the air craft carrier,
Lexington, in the South Pacific, from 1943-1946, and supplied
support photography for the landings at Iwo Jima, Guam, Saipan, and the
Philippines. |

Waiting, Zagreb, Yugoslavia |
Following the
war, he returned to study at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, and
then at the Academie Andre Lhote in Paris, in 1949, where he
found great delight documenting Parisians at work and play. On returning
to the States, he was commissioned by Roy Stryker, the legendary head of
the Farm Security Administration, to photograph the steel mills of
Pittsburgh, the Masabi iron mines of Minnesota and the coal mines of
West Virginia. Massar’s interest in world events led to his joining
Martin Luther King’s march to Montgomery.
