"Photographs" is a collection of works by American photographer Harry Callahan (1912-1999). Callahan is one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, capturing everyday life with a unique sense of composition and sensibility, from the geometric structures of cities and abstract forms in nature to intimate portraits of his wife, Eleanor. Based in Chicago, he taught alongside Aaron Siskind and was instrumental in establishing photography as an art form. He was also an important mentor to Yasuhiro Ishimoto of Japan, and his preface to Ishimoto's masterpiece, "Chicago, Chicago," reveals his deep trust and profound influence. This book, Callahan's first major collection, published by El Mochuelo Gallery in 1964, includes a wide range of works, from urban patterns and abstractions in nature to intimate family portraits. This beautifully bound volume embodies the artistic sense and sensibility that are also present in Ishimoto's work, making it an important work that reaffirms Callahan's greatness. This masterpiece was also nominated for "The Book of 101 Books," a historical collection of 101 photobooks representing the 20th century by renowned photography historian Andrew Roth.
