Adam Caldwell

Adam Caldwell created a series based on the novels of his grandfather, Erskine Caldwell. A best-selling author of more than 50 books, including “Tobacco Road” and “God’s Little Acre,” Throwing in layers of images of ancient ruins, social protest, war, and architecture, he seeks to explore the tension between the work of Margaret Bourke-White, an amazing 20th century self-made female photographer who made her own way in a man’s world, and the contemporary depiction of sexy, southern, white-trash women, who are a stereotypical result of writings by Caldwell’s grandfather. Adam Hunter Caldwell was born in 1963 in Framingham, Massachusetts, and received his BFA from California College of the Arts in 1998. In addition to working on projects for clients such as The California Lottery, Adobe and Microsoft, Caldwell has been a full-time Fine Arts instructor at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco since 2001.
