Photography

Carl Chiarenza is an American photographer known for abstract and experimental work that emerged from the postwar avant-garde. Working primarily in black and white, he employs photographic techniques including solarization, montage, and unconventional darkroom processes to create compositions that prioritize formal invention over documentary representation. His practice positions photography as a medium for abstract visual inquiry rather than optical recording.
