This retrospective showcases the significant contributions of Aaron Siskind to American photography, presenting important and rarely published works. Accompanied by an authoritative text from esteemed photo historian Gilles Mora, the volume offers a comprehensive look at Siskind's artistic legacy, making it a vital resource for photography enthusiasts and scholars alike.
Siskind’s style of gesture and nuance, a new form of visual calligraphy, dominated his work for the next forty years, and ran parallel to the developments of his colleagues, the abstract expressionists. Siskind was not only a critical figure in modern photography, but he also influenced the work of painters of that period, including Willem De Kooning, Franz Kline, and Robert Rauschenberg. Aaron Siskind 100 , the book and exhibition, honors the legacy of this legendary artist through six decades of an incredible photographic journey.
