cca. 1980
In the '80s, George Kollar began using his camera to study angels. "Not 'real' angels, mind you: but angelic forms as the appear in sculpture, stained glass, murals and mosaics". (Ivy Schroeder, Photographer captures angels, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 1995) Exhibited at Gallerie Chiz in 1996 and Bottle Works Ethnic Arts Center in 2002, Kollar's fascination with angels began after developing film taken at the burial site of his grandparents in St. Casimir's Roman Catholic Cemetery.
