Montage I: Paint and Painter (US 1959) Montage II: Ephemeral Blue (US ca. 1960) Montage IV: The Garden of Eden (US 1962) Montage V: How to Play Pinball (US 1963) Postwar America saw a tremendous growth in small-gauge screening spaces. Any college, church, or community hall with a 16mm projector and a few dedicated members could launch a bona fide film society and rent offbeat fare—foreign pictures, silent classics, documentaries, and experimental films—that would not be seen at commercial movie theaters. Film societies not only disseminated these alternative titles but encouraged critical

Ever intriguing, always hard to explain, what the photographs of Carl Chiarenza are like are not what they are. Writers—the photographer himself—have likened the photographs to the dissonant chords of modern music or to the late quartets of Beethoven. Matched them also to the transforming aspects of poetry, or to the beauty of Oriental paintings. Most often the cited paragon is the peaks and chasms of landscapes, the vegetation of deep woods, a lunar map. All are valid, handsome similes. Chiarenza after all is a musician with a taste for Mozart and jazz; he writes poetry from time to time; is

I first came across Chiarenza’s work while studying at Rochester Institute of Technology, where a massive, 14-foot wide photograph by him is on permanent display in the lobby of the Frank E. Gannett Building. This photograph was different than any that I’d ever seen before. It didn’t depict a person, a place, or any other subject matter that I could easily recognize. At first glance, it appeared to be little more than a disorganized array of various textures, shapes, and
