Roy Richard Behrens ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɛər|ən|z}}; born 1946) is Professor of Art and Distinguished Scholar at the University of Northern Iowa. He is well known for his writings on camouflage in relation to art, design and creativity as detailed in Camoupedia and additional books and essays on the subject.

Biography

Roy R. Behrens was born to Chester H. Behrens and Eleanor E. Behrens in 1946 in Independence, Iowa. He gained his bachelor's in art education degree at the University of Northern Iowa in 1968. He rose to the rank of sergeant[2] with the United States Marine Corps from 1969 to 1971. He gained his master of art education degree at Rhode Island School of Design in 1972.[2]

He taught graphic design, illustration, and design history at the University of Northern Iowa from 1972, at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee[2] from 1977, at the Art Academy of Cincinnati[3] from 1987, and, again, at the University of Northern Iowa since 1990. He has written several books and numerous papers. For twenty years, beginning in 1985, he published a quarterly magazine called Ballast Quarterly Review (the title is an acronym for Books Art Language Logic Ambiguity Science and Teaching), self-described as a "periodical commonplace book."[4][5] Over the years, he has written numerous articles for Leonardo[6] and various books and journals.

He is the author of Camoupedia,{{efn|Not the same as the military camouflage pattern website, Camopedia.[7]}} a book[8] and blog[9] on camouflage. The camouflage researcher Isla Forsyth describes this work as an "extensive study into modern military camouflage..by the British and US military throughout the First and Second World Wars, exploring the contribution of art and science, and the ways in which, via modern and contemporary art, camouflage has been appropriated by contemporary culture".[10] Mike Leggett, reviewing the book in Leonardo, wrote that "the outcome of enthusiastic research it is, but an entertaining summary of the field it also manages to be."[11] Michael A. Martone calls Behrens "a wonderful writer and artist ... whose work on camouflage and art is important to me. He publishes an amazing 'zine called Ballast on visual and verbal punning."[12]

Behrens is married to the artist Mary Snyder Behrens,[13] with whom he is founder and co-proprietor of Bobolink Books.[3]
