Biographical Information

Panelist at the Conference on Education for Photography cosponsored by the Arne rican Society of Magazine Photographers and the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, November 9-10, 1962, Philadelphia, Pa.

Born in Centerville, South Dakota, 1900, Levon West, he was the son of a Congregational Minister and Henrietta West, direct descendant of Benjamin Vvest. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in business administration, but determined to pursue his career as an etcher. He lived for a while a somewhat meagre existence in the cupola of the old Waldorf Astoria until his work began to be sought by major museums and collectors here and abroad. Levon West first won wide acclaim when the New York Times featured his etching of Lindbergh's Atlantic flight in its May 29, 1927 issue.

During the depression, he turned to photography and adopted the pseudonym Ivan Dmitri at the suggestion of a ~{ussian friend. When he heard that Eastman Kodak had developed a natural-color film, he rushed to Rochester and got two rolls before it went on the market. He photographed a red racing car, and sold the idea of color-film photography to the Saturday Evening Post. He has since done more than 200 Post assignments, his inventive mind and experience in color-plate work helping Post engravers to work out printing problems. Post Photography Editor Doug Borgstedt says, "He combines picture interest with superb technique."

Dmitri (under the name of Levon \\est) has written many books dealing with the graphic arts. He has received numerous awards as a photographer, the latest from the PP of A for "his successful efforts to widen the acceptance of photography as a fine art, making it possible for the public to see more outstanding creative photography in more museums and art centers in this country and abroad."

"In these past three years, I've witnessed a 'glorious revolution' in our thinking: Museums, which never took photography seriously, are now presenting photography exhibits as well as purchasing these pictures for their newly-formed photography departments," said Ivan Dmitri, Director of Photography in the Fine Arts, the organi zation that has been chiefly responsible for bringing this change in thought aoout.

Dmitri, his wife Louise, and son Peter, live on East 49th Street, where papa West grows little trees on the apartment roof. EDWARD A. A DAMS
