Aaron Siskind: A Painter’s photography and works on<br />
paper<br />
BY STAFF REPORTS • DOWNTOWN ASHEVILLE<br />
This exhibition of vintage photographs by<br />
Aaron Siskind reveals his elegant approach<br />
to abstraction through photography.<br />
Siskind taught photography at BMC during<br />
the summer of 1951 (along with Harry Callahan,<br />
Arthur Siegel, and Hazel Larsen Archer). As the<br />
only photographer accepted as an equal by the<br />
abstract expressionist painters, Siskind’s work<br />
remains as<br />
powerful today<br />
as it was in the<br />
1950s. The exhibition<br />
also includes<br />
selected<br />
works on paper<br />
by BMC artists<br />
Aaron Siskind, Chicago 1949<br />
John Cage, Merce<br />
Cunningham, Willem de Kooning, Ray Johnson,<br />
and Jack Tworkov from private collections.<br />
