What Else It Is

22 Jun, 2018 - 31 Aug, 2018
Photography鈥檚 evolution away from concrete or discrete subject matter was inevitable as it developed as an art form. Begun in the 1940鈥檚, and flourishing during the Post War years, the Abstract Expressionist movement in painting, with its emphasis on the spontaneous and subconscious creations, took hold in America. Artists such as Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Clifford Still and Mark Rothko promoted this anti-figurative aesthetic that philosophically resonates with the tenants of the Bauhaus.


From the early 1930鈥檚 to the mid 1940鈥檚 schools in America like Black Mountain College headed by John Andrew Rice and Theodore Dreier and The New Bauhaus/Institute of Design in Chicago, headed by L谩szl贸 Maholy-Nagy, continued their aesthetic approach that stressed the importance of design and the integration of a variety of subject areas. Teachers and students such as Anni Albers, Harry Callahan, Gy枚rgy Kepes, Barbara Morgan, Nancy Newhall, Arthur Siegel, and Aaron Siskind, began to produce photographs with the emphasis on the design elements of shape and form, tone and texture, rather than concrete subject matter.
