Steven F. Arnold
Steven F. Arnold (1943-1994), trendsetting American artist and protégé of Salvador Dalí, was a visionary filmmaker, photographer, painter, illustrator, set and costume designer, and assemblage artist.
== Birth and Early Life ==
Steven Arnold was born on May 18, 1943, to a seamstress mother, and a hardware clerk father in Oakland California. At four or five years old, he found a chest of theatrical costumes and make-up belonging to his uncle in the attic of his parent’s house, and from then on devoted himself to the art of transformation, constantly dressing up to amuse himself, his fashion model sister, and his babysitter. His parents encouraged his fantasies, and allowed him to build sets and puppets to put on shows for the neighborhood children, to whom he said, he never related.
In the fall of 1958 Arnold entered Oakland Technical High School, where he met his lifelong friend, muse, and collaborator, Pandora. The pair became inseparable, and would spend hours in Steven’s bedroom drinking champagne and Romilar cough syrup, smoking opium, marijuana, and cigarettes, dressing up, and playing with make-up. Steven’s bedroom in 1959, as Pandora remembers, was “like LOUIS XIV – beyond belief for a child”. Steven and Pandora’s high school art teacher, Violet Chew, was the pair’s mentor and main source of inspiration. Chew taught her students by ancient Chinese methods, which worked from the inside out, encouraging students to confront problems on a soul-level, and to use their art as a means of exploring and solving these problems. She also introduced the young Steven to antique and junk shopping, art history, cutting-edge fashion, and Eastern spiritual traditions, which made a lasting impact on Arnold’s philosophy and art. She saw great potential in her student, and arranged for Arnold to drop homeroom and physical education in order to spend three periods with her each day. It was also around this time that Violet Chew’s friend, artist (Ira Yeager ) noticed that “it was Steven who actually initiated ‘hippie’ dress in San Francisco, before it was fashionable.”
