AARON SISKIND (1903-1991) Rome 2 * Rome 156. Together, 2 photographs from the series Homage to Franz Kline. Silver prints, 14 1/4 inches square and 14x16 1/4 inches (36.2 and 35.6x41.3 cm.), sheet size 16x20 inches (40.6x50.8 cm.), each with Siskind's signature, title, and date, in pencil, and numeric notations, also in pencil, in an unknown hand, on verso. 1973 (2)
As Siskind's friend, the photographer Carl Chiarenza writes, "In his work, Aaron Siskind explores the importance of friendship between individuals as well as the larger concept of communication within the artistic community. As a result of his personal friendship with and aesthetic influence from Franz Kline, Siskind uses media such as broken walls and flaking plaster to achieve similar effects on film to those Kline achieved in paint."
