Aaron Siskind, American, 1903–1991. Grocery store, 1940, Harlem, New York
Although a photographer, Siskind was also closely involved with, if not a part of, the abstract expressionist movement, and was close friends with painters Franz Kline (whose own breakthrough show at the Charles Egan Gallery occurred in the same period as Siskind's one-man shows at the same gallery), Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning.
