Aaron Siskind

Aaron Siskind's early work as a social documentary photographer

is best seen in his contributions to the Harlem Document (1932-
40), a survey of life in Harlem. Siskind also identified with the
ideas and styles of the Abstract Expressionist artists in New York
in the 1940s. In these later photographs he continued to
emphasize the modernist concern with the flatness of the picture
plane, but intensified his approach to picture making - with close-
up framing, as well as emphasis on texture, line, and visual
rhymes - creating abstract images of the real world.
These images I liked because the effect looks great, and I love natural things
like flowers, and in their photos mr. sidkind shows an excellent job with that
filter.
