It was this photograph that drew me into Steven Arnold’s work.

Steven Arnold (1943–1994) was a California-based multi-media artist, spiritualist, gender bender and protegee of Salvador Dalí. His work consisted of drawings, paintings, rock and film poster art, makeup design, costume design, set design, photography and film.

I have not seen his film work, but it garnered the applause of Dali and Warhol.

I found these pieces compelling enough to look a bit deeper in the style, tableaux vivant.

Each photos makes me feel like I’m looking at a screen capture of a performance…a single second of a larger narrative.
