In this exhibition of work by photographer Harry Callahan
(1912-1999) exists predominantly documentation of architecture and its varying surfaces
in the streets of his surroundings.
It is Callahan’s images of natural forms which are bought
into abstraction which are of particular interest. The linear forms are like
delicate and manually formed drawings which capture horizontals and verticals.
Within the four rooms of the display verticals and
horizontals both natural and mechanical are captured and presented in black
frames with white mount board in typical photography standard. Each of the
rooms focuses on a different aspect of Callahan’s work with subject matter
ranging from; streets, architecture, nature and his wife Eleanor (is Eleanor a
motif?).
Harry Callahan
exhibition is on display between 9th December until 31st May
2014 at Tate Modern.
