Aaron Siskind

Born December 4, 1903 in New York City , Aaron Siskind graduated from the City

College of New York in 1926 and taught high school English until he became interested

in photography in 1930. In 1933 he joined the Film and Photo League.

In the 1940s, Siskind lived above the Corner Book Shop, at 102 Fourth Avenue in

Manhattan; he also maintained a darkroom at this location.Siskind worked all over the

world, visiting Mexico in 1955 and the 1970s, and Rome in 1963 and 1967.work with

their own. Siskind's photographs have been widely exhibited and he won many awards

for his photography, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Distinguished

Photography Award from the Friends of Photography

He did the Tar Series in Providence, Vermont, and Route 88 near Westport, Rhode

Island, in the 1980s. He continued his work assuming a new, more abstract focus, as

evident in Tabernacle City, a series of photographs depicting the vernacular architecture

of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. When his exhibition of this series at the Photo League

caused many members to protest his photography outright, he left the organization and

found support among Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and other painters, who recognized his

elimination of pictorial space and his concentration on the arrangement of objects within

the picture plane as qualities aligning his work with their own. Siskind's photographs

have been widely exhibited making photographs until his death from a stroke on

February 8, 1991.
