My life in the arts is crammed into eight, four-drawer file cabinets of texts, slides and negatives. Some years ago I went digital and that output is saved on external hard drives.
The website you are exploring represents at least six months of labor intensive work with the webmaster, Michael McGrath. With an initial selection of some 2000 plus images this is a first cut of archival work that is ongoing.
Phase one has entailed defining categories and access to images in a simple, logical and productive manner.
This legacy project makes available work for the pleasure of both a general audience as well as specialists searching for images for exhibitions, collections and publications. The range of images is both eclectic and personal.
Artist, Art History Professor, Art Critic, Music Critic, Photographer, Author, Gonzo Poet
Born to a father/surgeon and landscape artist, and a physician mother, I had the benefit of growing up with some privilege. My life in the Arts took me to places and to people that filled it with beauty, creativity, and challenges I think I weathered well.

Charles’ Other Websites
Along with my wife and partner, Astrid Hiemer, I’ve been editor and publisher of the Berkshire Fine Arts website, a voluminous website with thousands of pages of content from the Arts and Literature.
In 2021, I launched a website devoted to my 7 (so far) books, most especially my latest, an oral history of the Boston MFA, www.giulianobooks.com
The Early Years
From The Beginning
DOB – October 25, 1940, Brooklyn, NY, that shortly thereafter became Beacon Street, Brookline. My doctor parents had their offices in our home, so best behavior was required.
Schooling
Enrolled at Mt. Alvernia Academy, Chestnut Hill, a Catholic school run by Franciscan nuns. Again, best behavior was required.
Summers
Summered at Norwood Heights, Annisquam where Charles played tennis and sailed at the Annisquam Yacht Club.
And More Schooling
Boston Latin High School, graduating 1959. Then on to Brandeis, Class of 1963, winning honors in the Fine Arts and the Edgar V. M. Gilbert award as the top studio major.
The Gonzo Years Then Began
After a stint at the Boston MFA, Egyptian Department, and a few other gigs, I coined the word “gonzo” and then it began.
