Passing the Torch: The Chicago Students of Callahan and Siskind

Passing the Torch: The Chicago Students of Callahan and Siskind at Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago, IL. "...Passing the Torch brings to light more than fifty vintage photographs - newly discovered works by accomplished but unfamiliar artists and unknown and lesser known pieces by those artists whose images you thought you knew well. All were students of Harry Callahan and/or Aaron Siskind during the duo's legendary years of teaching at the Chicago's Institute of Design, the single most influential school for photography and design in mid-twentieth century America."
