I ❤️ AARON SISKIND @ Elizabeth Houston Gallery
I ❤ AARON SISKIND
June 6 – August 17 , 2018
“I ❤ Aaron Siskind, on view now at Elizabeth Houston Gallery through August 17, captures the textures, forms, lines and shapes the artist uncovered in the cast-off objects, barren walls, graffiti and signage of cities near and far. Woodgrain, scrawled text, torn paper, splattered paint, refuse and debris are transformed into the light and shadow of gelatin silver. Siskind saw in weathered fragments and surfaces the abstractions of Franz Kline or Robert Motherwell, plucking them from the world with the intimacy of his framing. Casting off the content and context of representation, he made form his only content, the photograph itself his context, letting the proximity of his compositions accentuate the unseen art of the everyday. ”
