Aaron Siskind Biography

(b New York, 4 Dec 1903; d Rhode Island, 8 Feb 1991). American photographer. He began serious photography in the early 1930s in New York as a member of the Film and Photo League (1932–5), a group that stressed its socialist commitment to documentary. This was reflected in his early records of Harlem and the Bowery but it was already counterbalanced by an approach that abstracted the subject, often through a concentration upon detail, the play of light and shade or the inclusion of two-dimensional street signs.
