Discover what’s new at the High Museum of Art with Photography as a Way of Life: Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan. This exhibition explores the overlapping careers of Minor White, Aaron Siskind, and Harry Callahan, profoundly influential photographers, teachers, and thinkers who redefined photography in the mid-twentieth century. Amid photography’s increasing recognition as an art form in the 1950s and 60s, these three artists carved out a new role and status for the medium, building a devoted audience for their work and shaping the aspirations of the era.

Members see it first and free! Join us Thursday, October 8, 2026, and get an exclusive look at this exhibition.

The High will be the exclusive Southeast venue for this touring exhibition. Drawing from the rich holdings of the Princeton University Art Museum and its Minor White Archive, the exhibition will feature iconic and previously unpublished color and black-and-white prints, rarely seen slides, and an array of published and archival materials.

Preregistration is required. Please enter the exhibition at your designated time to prevent overcrowding in the galleries.
