About the artist

Aaron Siskind

American

1903–1991

Aaron Siskind was an American photographer, born ing 1903, and known for his black-and-white images that transformed everyday subjects into abstract compositions. Born in New York City, Siskind began photographing in the early 1930s after receiving a camera as a gift and soon became involved with the New York Photo League. His early documentary work, including the Harlem Document project, later evolved into a more abstract approach focused on textures, surfaces, and architectural fragments. Influenced by modernist ideas and artists such as László Moholy-Nagy and Harry Callahan, Siskind’s photographs emphasize form, pattern, and the expressive qualities of ordinary materials. He died in 1991. His work is held in major museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
