"Photographs" is a collection of photographs by renowned American photographer Aaron Siskind. It's a shining example of Siskind's masterpiece in the history of 20th-century photography. It was also nominated for "The Book of 101 Books," a historical collection by renowned photography historian Andrew Ross showcasing 101 of the most important photobooks of the 20th century. By focusing on overlooked details—graffiti on walls, peeling paint, posters, and the textures of natural objects—Siskind creates works that resemble abstract paintings. His works have had a profound influence on artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, and are highly regarded as one of the postwar works that helped promote the recognition of photography as not just a form of documentation but as art. Through the act of "seeing" objects and subjects, this masterpiece expresses the profound appeal and joy of art, suggesting multifaceted ways of looking at things and stimulating various imaginations. It is a must-have in numerous photobook introductions, including "The Book of 101 Books" and Parr & Badger / Vol. Ⅰ.
