<p>Aaron Siskind was an artist of great originality, unprecedented in American photography. In this book the authors examine the artist's journey from one aesthetic to another, situating the work of the 1930s in the context of the Great Depression and the politicised Photo League, through to the 1940s and Siskind's attraction to vernacular and architectural photography. They explore his trajectory, while teaching at the New Bauhaus in Chicago then at the Rhode Island School of Design, towards a photography of controlled abstraction ultimately rooted in a photorealism that he never repudiated but utilised as a different way of photographing.</p>
