Modern Art Close: That was a close call for Eastern freedom and we ought to take time out to thank our lucky stars that we had as our ally-on-the-spot a race of home-defenders as brave and dauntless as any that the ancient or modern art close world has known.The result is a distinctive style. Siskind emphasizes the linear. Edges are sharp, contrasts are great. Everything seems on a single plane, with little depth. Often the image is ambiguous, creating in the beholder a tension between what is obvious and what is a fresh, visual discovery. When The Museum of modern art close Art showed his work in 1946 one reviewer wrote: "The relation of photography to abstract art is close and challenging. Siskind's isolation and organization within a rectangle of such apparently ungrateful subjects as a shingle or marked-up tar paper is a close one. Siskind's remark, 'I regard the picture as a new object to be contemplated for its own meaning and its own beauty,' is a point of view seldom expressed by photographers.
