Bert Yarborough’s vivid and visceral paintings, drawings, and prints have been exhibited internationally and feature in the collections of museums throughout the U.S. His work, which is often but not always abstract, evokes something both urban and primitive. Their uncompromising use of color and form make them dark celebrations of a unique epoch. Bert Yarborough has a degree in Architecture from Clemson University and an MA and MFA in Photography from the University of Iowa. He held the Sonia C. Davidow ’56 Endowed Chair in the Fine and Performing Arts at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH, where he also served as the Director of the William and Sonja Carlson Davidow ’56 and Marian Graves Mugar Art Galleries and taught Drawing and Painting. A former two-year Resident Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA, he served as Visual Arts Program Coordinator for four years and as Chairman of the Visual Committee and member of the Board of Trustees. He has received two NH State Arts Council Grants in Painting, an NEA Fellowship in Sculpture, a Fulbright Fellowship to Nigeria, also in Sculpture, a Visual Artist Residency Fellowship at Civitella Ranieri in Umbria, Italy and an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Individual Artist Support Grant.
