About the Item

"White Mountains Road With Clouds, 1968" - Black and White Photograph Black and white photograph depicting a gravel dirt road through the mountains with vibrant white clouds contrasting with the dark sky by Peter McArthur (American, b. 1947). Signed "Peter McArthur" lower right corner. Presented in a white mat. Mat size: 16"H x 13.5"W Image size: 8.5"H x 6.5"W Peter McArthur (American, b. 1947) is a long time Carmel Valley resident specializing in Black and white landscape photography. He is also one of very few artists in the country that hand make frames for his work from scratch. McArthur has been photographing in black and white since 1965, when he first took a walk from Carmel point to Carmel beach with a camera and his girlfriend at the time. Once he saw the already beautiful coast in black and white, he was smitten with this new way to experience what was all around him, even though he had spent the previous years growing up there. After attending M.P.C and Humboldt State College (1967-1970), McArthur returned to Carmel and continued photography as a hobby until he could start his own business selling his photographs and handmade picture frames.

  • Yaa-sama Tears
    Located in New York, NY
    “Ink Stories”, which was introduced at Nyari’s very first solo gallery exhibit, consists of large-scale nude photographs that explore the concept of self-identity and female empowerment. The series joins six women together, each who have faced adversity, to demonstrate the creation of a strengthened self-image through tattoos. By highlighting the intricate woven threads of ink on each woman’s skin, Nyari proposes the idea that self-empowerment and reconciliation with one’s traumas can be linked to the act of greeting one’s “own skin” or inventing their own story. Nyari has now elevated these intimate photographs in her new Punctured Ink series through the process of puncturing botanical-like references into the surface of each image (thus making each one of a kind). Her inspiration to physically puncture the previously pristine photographic prints stemmed from a childhood memory that occurred while she was living in Finland: “I remembered my parents had this big pad of paper next to the home phone...
