The University of Art's Museum of Art and Archive of Visual Arts present Brian Stauffer’s “Hard Eyes: Images in Empathy.”
Stauffer’s illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, TIME, The New Yorker, The Nation, The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Esquire, GQ and more than 300 other publications worldwide. A UA graduate, Stauffer begins with hand drawn images and builds mixed media collages using traditional and digital processes, painted elements and scanned found objects and surfaces.
Stauffer was born and raised in Arizona and graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree from the UA School of Art in 1989 with an emphasis in design. His body of work is a fine example of the philosophy of the program, now called visual communication, which approaches design and illustration as means of critical inquiry, documentation, interpretation, expression and communication, as well as powerful vehicles for social change.
In 2005, The American Society of Magazine Editors named Brian’s “Worry” cover for The Nation magazine “One of the Top 40 Magazine Covers from the Past 40 Years.” His images are in the permanent collections of the Museum of American Illustration in New York City, The American Institute of Graphics Artists, The Newseum of Washington, D.C., and The Art Directors Club of New York.
The museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. It is closed Mondays.
UAMA programs are generously supported by UAMA Partner benefactors I. Michael and Beth C. Kasser, the Jack and Vivian Hanson Endowment, the UAMA Partners and Arizona Public Media.
