Peter McArthur
Cat in the Shadows - Black and White Photo by Carmel Artist Peter McArthur

c. 1970

About the Item

Black and white photo of a cat on a gravel road by Peter McArthur (American, b. 1947). In the top portion of the composition, a cat sits in the shadows of a gravel road. The exposure of the photograph perfectly captures the texture of the gravel, the delicate highlights on the cat, and the deep shadows in the background. Signed "Peter McArthur" in the lower right corner. Presented in a white mat. Image size: 9.25"H x 6.25"W Mat size: 16"H x 13"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.

  • Sierra Mountain Reflections - Black & White Landscape Photograph
    By Robert Werling
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Stunning black & white landscape photograph with trees reflecting in water in the Sierra Nevada mountains by California artist Robert Werling. Signed on mat lower right: "Bob Werling." Presented in a silver metal frame. Image, 15"H x 19"W. Robert Werling was born in San Francisco, California in 1946 and realized an interest in art at an early age. While briefly attending a commercial art school, he found photography to be his medium and went on to obtain both a BA and an honorary MS from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. He also studied privately under Ansel Adams from 1966 to 1970 and Imogen Cunningham from 1969 to 1975. Through his affiliation with Adams, Werling came to know and work with other noted photographers. Brett Weston became his close friend and mentor and Marion Post Wolcott, relying on his darkroom expertise, entrusted her negatives to his printing genius. While creating an impressive number of his own fine art prints, Werling also lectured extensively and worked as an instructor for the Brooks Institute, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Zone System Seminars and Workshops in the United States, and for the Werkschule fur Fotografie in Soltau, Germany. Werling has exhibited his photographs in over sixty one-man and group shows in both the United States and Europe. He was guest curator of photography for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art organizing VIVO, the Contemporary Japanese Photography and Brett Weston’s photographs...
