BIOGRAPHY
A native of New Orleans, Robert Borne resides part of the year in his apartment in Paris and the rest of the year in his historic New Orleans home. A poet, musician and photographer, Robert combines the sensuous elements of New Orleans with the refinement of France. His work incorporates both the present moment and the historic past. Past and present are one and time is indeed relative. Artfully using the hues of black and white photography, Robert’s photos capture the soulfulness of place and time and evoke feelings associated with sense-memory.
Robert is a graduate of the New Orleans School of Fine Arts. His work has been heavily influenced by Masters such as Brassai, Ronis, and Cartier-Bresson.
Initial collectors have been from individual investor’s interested in Art thru Auctions at the New Orleans Ballet Association, the University of Houston’s School of Architecture, Overture to the Cultural Season and other local Art related Non-Profit Organizations. In March 2005, Robert’s series on Highway 61 debuted in a retrospective of Bob Dylan at the University of Caen in Normandy. He will soon be featured in an upcoming documentary on Bob Dylan.
