Description: Throughout his career Harry Callahan quietly but consistently explored new ways of looking at & presenting the world in his photographs. His nature & landscape photography were influenced by Ansel Adams; however, Callahan was boldly innovative & experimental with the technical side of photography, using double exposures & extreme contrast, wide-angle lenses, & color to create lyrical, highly personal photographs. He was celebrated as a photographer of nature, the city, & women, often with his wife as a model. A teacher at the Institute of Design in Chicago, & at the Rhode Island School of Design, he influenced many younger photographers. In 1977, when Callahan was 65, he was the subject of a large retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. A second retrospective opened at the National Gallery of Art in 1996 & toured nationwide. This book, which Bulfinch published in hardcover, first accompanied Callahan's National Gallery of Art exhibition. It traces the numerous experiments Callahan made throughout his career, demonstrating the interchange that exists between his subject matter & his formal experiments. The volume includes 119 beautifully reproduced photographs.
