Artists

Bruce Mozert (1916-2015) was the photographer at Silver Springs, the iconic theme park, in the 1950s. He created zany photographs of attractive young women performing everyday activities underwater to show the clarity of the spring water and to lure Northerners to the park. Silver Springs was the Disney World of its day thanks, in part, to Mozert's publicity stills that went around the country via the wire services.

In 2008, the Appleton Museum of Art mounted the first retrospective of the artist’s photographs; the exhibition was next shown at the Museum of Florida Art and Culture in Sebring. His work has subsequently been exhibited in group shows and featured in magazines international, including Smithsonian magazine (May, 2008).

University Press of Florida published Silver Springs: The Underwater Photography of Bruce Mozert, in 2008.

Bruce Mozert’s photographs are silver gelatin prints made by the artist on fiber paper that were processed to archival standards. Each print is singed on verso.
