John Divola was born in 1949, Los Angeles. He got his BA in 1971 California State University, Northridge; and his MA in1973: and his MFA 1974, University of California, Los Angeles. He has taught 1975 photography and art at numerous institutions. Since 1988 he has been a Professor of Art. Divola's work has been featured in more than seventy Solo exhibitions Including in the United States, Japan, Europe, Mexico, and Australia. Since 1973 his work has been in more than two hundred group exhibitions in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Divola's photography has inspired me to more abstract photos. He has a wide variety of photos including indoor and out-door photos. Although he has a variety of photos I like his out-door ones.
