1) Aaron Siskind was very significant in his contribution to photography. His work is known to capture significant detail. His photos are full of detail, his ficus was random things, such as markings on walls and figures on surfaces. Aaron's work was continually abstract, he shows abstract figures through photographing nature and architecture. His work today runs at around one thousand dollars up to over seven thousand dollars.
2) Abstract expressionism is defines as "the attempt of an artist to express their emotions without feeling restricted by realism." Personally I see this as a type of art when the artist is free to do whatever he/she may want to do/create without worrying about anything, they are expressing their feelings as they want to. When I look at this form of photography I feel like I can express myself in a way that I love, by taking photos.
3) with this upcoming assignment I definitely plan to use some of the things o have learned about abstract expressionism by learning about Aaron Siskind. I plan to look at nature in a different way. I will pay close attention to detail and texture. One certain place where I am going to look at is on old roads. I think that there I will be able to create an amazing "Aaron Siskind" photograph because by paying close attention to those roads they look like they could make photo tell a story.
