Notice biographique
Richard Charles Veit II (1918-1970) was an experimental photographer who resided in Coral Gables, FL for many years. He traveled extensively around the world for the Miami-based Pan Am Travel Agency and photographed several locations for them. He experimented often with color and black-and-white renderings of photographs and negatives.
Several of his photographs were taken in the 1930s through the 1960s, including photos of Cuba before the U.S. travel embargo and Haitian cities before the 2010 hurricane. However, most of his photographs portray sailing events and groups, including the Southern Ocean Racing Conference, the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, and the Coral Reef Yacht Club, which were regularly published in sailing magazines.
In 1966, he published the book With a Few Comments on the Photographic Art, followed by a second book in German, Grosse Segel, Kleine Segel in 1967. The books reflect his particular interest in marine photography, especially in Miami and Florida. His works were exhibited in acknowledged institutions such as The Art Institute of Chicago, the Galeria Am Platz Eglisau in Switzerland, and the National Maritime Museum Greenwich in England among many others.
