Aaron Siskind was an American photographer who was closely involved with the abstract expressionist movement.

Siskind’s early work contributed to a social documentary of Harlem, New York. This was known as the Harlem Document. Siskind also identified with the ideas and styles of the Abstract Expressionist artists in New York in the 1940s. In these later photographs he continued to emphasize the modernist concern with the flatness of the picture plane, but intensified his approach to picture making – with close-up framing, as well as emphasis on texture, line, and visual rhymes – creating abstract images of the real world.
