The Los Angeles painter and sculptor Charles Arnoldi has been described as an artist who “draws in space” to create his unique assemblages. Throughout his long career, he has been fascinated with shape and pattern as they apply to advanced formal concerns, from his 1970s paintings made entirely of natural forms to his current work, of which the architect Frank Gehry has said, “the maturing Arnoldi has a secure color sense and the ability to work at large scale as well as to produce tiny, exquisite watercolors.” Gehry, who provides the introduction for this first comprehensive monograph, also cites Arnoldi as an influence in his own work, saying, “this is an artist whose best is yet to come, who...is still experimental and still willing to risk.”
Charles Arnoldi is represented by Charles Cowles Gallery in New York, Modernism in San Francisco, and Charlotte Jackson Fine Art in Santa Fe.

Hardcover. Black boards with a white dust jacket that has light gray text down the spine. Pages: (6), 7-149, (2). Profusely illustrated with black-and-white images. "'At the Crossroads of American Photography' examines the aesthetic interrelationship of three photographers who helped define the course of American photography: Frederick Sommer, Harry Callahan, and Aaron Siskind. Although each has been honored with individual museum retrospectives, this is the first full comparison of their work and exploration of their robust, prescient exchange of ideas about photography, abstraction and metaphor. Self-taught as photographers, they helped shape a national community of peers and the evolution of photography as an art form. They are the bridge between the purity of Group f/64-era photography at mid-century and the hybrid approaches to the medium seen today. These men, whose professional friendships span 25 years, were dubbed the "holy trinity" of American photography. This exhibition and publication highlight the powerful role of such camaraderie in shaping photography at this pivotal time, before the emergence of a market for photography and before widespread artistic acceptance of the medium. It brings to light contrasting philosophies of the artist/photographer's role (influenced by existentialism for Siskind and by the writings of Spinoza for Sommer); the interest in chance as an artistic process; the expressive potential of photographic 'found' objects and 'collage'; experimental abstraction; close affiliations with 'fine art' movements (New Bauhaus, Abstract Expressionism, and Surrealism); and changing attitudes toward the fine-print tradition."
