Harry Callahan (1912-1999) was one of the most innovative and influential photographers of the 20th century. Celebrating the centenary of his birth, the exhibition of some 110 photographs explores all facets of Callahan's art from its genesis in Detroit in the early 1940s to its flowering in Chicago in the late 1940s and 1950s and maturation in Providence and Atlanta from in the 1960s through the 1990s. Throughout his long career, he repeatedly explored new ways of looking at and presenting the world in photographs that are elegant, visually daring, and highly experimental.
The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
