Arthur Tress

BACKGROUND
Photographer Arthur Tress began working on his study of the unconscious SCAN FOR
MULTIMEDIA
mind in the late 1960s by interviewing children about their most memorable
dreams. At the time, photography that documented real events was still the
dominant form of the medium, and there was some prejudice against staged
photography. Tress’s photographs from The Dream Collector helped elevate
the art of photography, and many photographers since have acknowledged
their debt to his work.
