I come to my life today through a logical progression. As a boy growing up in rural Indiana in the 1950s, I remember painting local scenes in oil on canvas and wondering why all of my neighbors’ barns and silos were nearly always red. Investigating this color custom, I learned that frugal farmers simply chose the least expensive pigment around—rust red—to best hide barnyard grime. To this day, while I have greatly expanded my geographic range, I remain fascinated by what colors a building wears and why. For over three decades I have immersed myself in the study of painted traditional architecture and how its cloaks of color are embraced, altered, or abandoned over time.

During high school in the late 1960s I studied printmaking and hard-line color composition under the direction of a transplanted Austrian artist who had settled in my hometown of Shelbyville. In 1971 I started to take the camera seriously and experimented with both black-and-white and color darkroom techniques. That same year I entered the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Art and Architecture. My education was grounded in the modernist theories of the Bauhaus, which stressed conceptual design and encouraged interdisciplinary study. To prevent contamination from past styles, my training was purposefully limited with regard to art and architectural history. On my first trip to Europe in 1976, I discovered a world of both monumental and vernacular buildings that I had missed.

Following six years in the program at Cincinnati, which balanced classes with work in architectural offices, I received my degree in architecture. To escape the Midwest’s winters and investigate West Coast design, I moved to San Francisco to practice. I also met my wife, Sally Jean Aberg, who holds a degree in English and another in art history—study which was prompted by her enchantment with the dazzling palette of the Fauvist painters.

After designing and overseeing the construction of an unconventional Telegraph Hill residence, I abandoned the frustrations and limitations of the business of architecture to channel all of my energies toward painting and photography. I began to divide my time between work in my Berkeley studio and annual travels abroad. The first walls I focused on were the grand stone monuments of Europe, but my small-town beginnings and painter’s tempering soon drew me to the more humble but colorful homes of farmers and fishermen in the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

Watercolor travels easily, so it became the medium I used to capture these hues and simple architectural elements. My work in architecture had taught me that the best way to describe anything is in a precise, straightforward manner, as with a plan or elevation. In my painting I took the same approach. Once in a long while I would find subjects in which the subtlety and richness of the colors were already so perfect to me that to paint them seemed futile. These I photographed instead using the same documentary approach.

A dozen years pursuing painted color in the Mediterranean region led to the publication of my first book, Mediterranean Color. It also initiated a BBC/PBS hour-long film, For the Colors, documenting my 1989 journey as I painted and photographed across Italy. It was during the making of this film that I truly felt the twentieth century nipping at my heels as it laid claim to even the most secluded hill towns and their painted colors. Surrendering the field, I turned my gaze in a new direction. From long familiarity with Old World ways, it was only natural for me to venture into the “New World” that was first unmasked and then transformed by the Mediterraneans.

And so I journeyed south of my country’s border. Mexico’s colors were magnetic. I was pulled southeastward, father from the tourist trail and further back in time, until I reached Veracruz state, a region rich in traditional cultures and the gateway to the Maya world. With their ties to a painted past so tantalizing, the Maya summoned. My new path was set. I would explore the lesser-known corners of Mexico and Central America in order to unravel the modern Maya’s enduring color cosmology. More than one hundred thousand miles and seven years later, Sally and I completed our second book, Maya Color: The Painted Villages of Mesoamerica. Even once the book was published, I continued working in el mundo Maya until I one day unfolded a map of South America. My search began in Peru and has since extended to Ecuador. In between lengthy stays in the Andean Highlands, I have also added Northern India and Kashmir to my passport stamps.

Today, between painting and preparing photographs for exhibition, I continue the discovery process around the globe. I have proceeded with this private obsession at my own pace, following weather, currency exchange rates, train schedules, and legends rather than a fixed itinerary. Admittedly, my choices are more often fortunate or impulsive than systematic and scholarly. I get waylaid often. Basing myself in one place for many weeks, I move constantly within that area, scouring every tiny crossroads for prospective images. Decisions are made from day-to-day and hour-to-hour, as very few places fulfill the promise of color that I am after, so I must move on.

Sally and I are based on the Monterey Peninsula in a colorful house by the sea.
