Suzanne Opton

Suzanne Opton is the recipient of a 2009 Guggenheim Fellowship. Her soldier portraits, icons of the aftermath of the current wars, have been presented as billboards in eight American cities, and have sparked a passionate debate about issues of art and soldiering. The conversation continues on the blog at www.SoldiersFace.com. Suzanne photographs are included in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Cleveland Museum, Fotomuseum Winterthur, International Center of Photography, Library of Congress, Musee de l'Eysee, Lausanne, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and Portland Art Museum among others. Suzanne has received grants from the NEA, NYFA, and Vermont Council on the Arts. She teaches at the International Center of Photography.
