Rochester: George Eastman House, 1965. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy bound in red cloth in a very good plus to near fine jacket with a little rubbing to the front panel. Aaron Siskind. 4to. George Eastman House Monograph #5. Siskind (1903-1991) has written: "When I make a photograph I want it to be an altogether new object, complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order..." The forty-four magnificent reproductions of his work which this volume contains make manifest his remarkable fulfillment of this ideal. Together with an introduction (truncated) by Nathan Lyons and essays by Thomas Hess and Henry Holmes Smith, an extensive bibliography and a chronology of the work of Aaron Siskind, this book contains selections from his work ranging over more than thirty years, including a number of his recent photographs made in Rome.
