Aaron Siskind and
Louis Sullivan
Jeffrey Plank
|
This is the first publication of a project that involved two giants of American Arts: photographer Aaron Siskind and architect Louis Sullivan, credited as the father of modernism and the creator of the skyscraper. Siskind composed an exhibit of 126 photographs of 35 Sullivan buildings, which was noteworthy for its startling juxtaposition of ornamental details and carefully composed building portraits. Siskind’s innovative photographs and equally innovative exhibit installation challenged prevailing thoughts about Sullivan by architectural historians.
