The images of the American author Aaron Siskind should be read in the light of his interests in literature, which he taught in the 1920s and poetry and Abstract Expressionist painting, which he approached in the 1940s. Trained in the school of the Photo League, he became an important exponent of abstract photography, but in the 1930s during the Great Depression he devoted himself to documenting life in the slums of New York in a style reminiscent of Minor White. This photograph is part of the series with which he produced the volume 'Harlem Document. Photographs 1932-1940'.
