"Aaron Siskind (1903 – 1991) was an American photographer whose work focuses on the details of things, presented as flat surfaces to create a new image independent of the original subject. He was closely involved with, if not a part of, the abstract expressionist movement, and was close friends with painters Franz Kline (whose own breakthrough show at the Charles Egan Gallery occurred in the same period as Siskind's one-man shows at the same gallery), Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning."—Wikipedia. // Exhibition catalogs, Photographie États-Unis Histoire 20e siècle Expositions, Photographie artistique, Photographie artistique Expositions,
