Chauncey Hare (June 19, 1934 – May 2019) was a notable American photographer who began his working life as a petroleum engineer for Standard Oil. He began to photograph in the late 1950s, becoming a fine-art photographer best known for his photographs of people living in 1970s American residential interiors, work places, and office spaces. In 1985, Hare abandoned photography and returned to school, becoming a therapist. A book of his from that era is Work Abuse: How to Recognize and Survive It (1997).

  • تشاونسي هير (بالإنجليزية: Chauncey Hare)‏ هو مصور أمريكي، ولد في 19 يونيو 1934. (ar)
  • Chauncey Hare (June 19, 1934 – May 2019) was a notable American photographer who began his working life as a petroleum engineer for Standard Oil. He began to photograph in the late 1950s, becoming a fine-art photographer best known for his photographs of people living in 1970s American residential interiors, work places, and office spaces. In 1969, 1971, and 1976 the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded photography fellowships to Hare. In 1975, 1978, and 1982 the National Endowment for the Arts awarded photography fellowships to Hare. In 1977 Hare stopped working as a petroleum engineer after twenty-one years at what became a Chevron refinery in Richmond, California; Hare enrolled in the MFA program in photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. That same year the Museum of Modern Art in New York exhibited Hare's photographs in a show entitled Interior America. The next year Aperture published a book of the same name. By the early 1980s other museums, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, had featured Hare's photographs in exhibitions. His photography books include Interior America (1978), This Was Corporate America (1984), and the expanded edition of the former, Protest Photographs (2008). In 1985, Hare abandoned photography and returned to school, becoming a therapist. A book of his from that era is Work Abuse: How to Recognize and Survive It (1997). Later, interest revived in Hare's work. In Diana & Nikon, Essays on the Aesthetic of Photography, the famed New Yorker writer, Janet Malcolm, described how even Hare's most mundane photographs, "quiver" with meaning "so that everything stands for something else." She saw a link between his careers, noting that he arranged his photographic subjects the way a therapist does, using free association. Malcom argued for the importance of "Chauncey Hare’s acid portrayal of late-twentieth-century America, writing that “Hare enters the homes that Robert Frank sped by when taking the pictures for The Americans.” The British writer Tim Adams, in a 2022 Guardian photo essay, called "The Big Picture: The Pursuit of Happiness in Playland California," notes that Hare himself saw his psychoanalytic work as "the antithesis of his art," yet "the two strands of his life both flash-lit the alienating values of the consumerist US and the promise of the pursuit of happiness in suburbia". For further insights and examples of Hare's work, Adams points to a 2022 book by Robert Slifkin, Quitting Your Day Job: Chauncey Hare’s Photographic Work,, billed as the f"irst critical biography" of this unique American photographer, who lived to be 89. Among other revelations, Slifkin writes that between1968 and 1972, Hare frequently visited Playland, an amusement park near his home in Richmond, California, snapping photos all the while. Exploring many aspects of Hare's life, the book suggests "the ways in which his work continues to resonate with contemporary concerns about the reach of corporations into everyday life, documentary photography's longstanding complicity with the politics of liberal guilt, and art's vexed relation to elite channels of power."
