Marker Text:


Preeminent 20th century photographer. Siskind’s influential images of Bucks County architecture from 1939 to 1945 brought about a change from documentary style to a radical abstract style, setting a new standard in American art photography.

Abstract style, not my cup of tea! The website below is a history about the man. The other website has some of his pictures.
