- Stevens Seaberg was born in Evanston, Illinois in 1930. He received his master’s in art and history at Northwestern University, and taught art at Rutgers University and Clark Atlanta University. Upon moving to Atlanta, Seaberg worked as a cartoonist and the culture editor for the Great Speckled Bird. He continues to be active in art as well as acrobatics.
In this interview, Seaberg begins the interview discussing his family's political background and how it affected him. He also emphasizes how significant his education and upbringing was on his later professional choices. Seaberg discusses his move to Atlanta and the state of Atlanta's art scene upon his arrival. He focuses on issues of race and sexuality within the Atlanta art scene. Seaberg also discusses his work for underground newspapers, particularly the Great Speckled Bird. He spends the final part of the interview discussing his time at the Bird and his art career, both during and after his time at the Bird. He concludes the interview with a discussion of his current interests. - Metadata URL:
