Photographer Aaron Siskind and Painter Franz Kline

THIS VIDEO: If ever you get the urge to photograph the graphic shapes or details that emerge from a graffiti wall, you are almost definitely referencing either photographer Aaron Siskind or his painter friend Franz Kline. They were both part of the abstract expressionist movement that was also referred to as the New York School during the 1940s and 50s. The painter’s work was characterized by strongly gestured, brush strokes, mark making and spontaneity.
ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
