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.
