For Siskind art had a purpose. As he once said, "To me, in a deep sense, it’s the purpose of art that a work of art is something that’s composed, it’s orderly, confined, it’s within bounds, you can comprehend it." . . . .... : Puruchuco 33 (1979) . . . . . . . . . . #blackandwhitephotography #abstractexpressionism #abstractphotography #35mm #filmisnotdead #photography #blackwhite #peru #landscape #filmphotography #abstraction #1970s #monochrome #aaronsiskind #aaronsiskindfoundation See more

When asked about his work and where he sees it Siskind once said, "I want to bring my pictures to the ideal of music.

The business of making a photograph may be said in simple terms to consist of three elements: the objective world (whose permanent condition is change and disorder), the sheet of paper on which the picture will be realized, and the experience that brings them together.
