Peter Livingston Myer
(Long Island, NY, 1934 - )
Peter Livingston Myer of Provo, Utah, is an interesting semi-abstractionist and realist, as painter, pastellist, printmaker, and sculptor (assemblage-installations); and, on occasion, this artist also experiments with kinetic lights and transparencies to create new optical patterns in some works. From Long Island, New York, Myer attended Brigham Young University (B.F.A.), and is also a University of Utah graduate (M.F.A., 1959). He has been the chair of the art department at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (1962-1972), and he has been a member of the BYU art faculty since that time. He is also a former director of BYU's art gallery in the Harris Fine Arts Center (previous to the building of the BYU Museum of Art). According to Ann Poore in her recent catalog entitled The Reality of Abstraction: Painting in Utah 1946-1996: "He [Myer] paints in a wide range of styles, ignoring the 'war' between abstract and representational art. An exhibition of kinetic (motion) art in Los Angeles during the mid-1960s started him 'on the road that I have followed ever since." Myer worked with a glass blower in the early 1980s to produce a series of glass sculptures that combined with light.
