Post WWII developments.

Eliot Porter, subtle color studies of birds in nature. His work was appreciated for both its artistic and scientific qualities.



Ernst Haas, an Austrian photographer producing some of Life's earlier color photo essays.


Minor White, influenced by Weston's beliefs of photography's descriptive powers and Stieglitz emotional expressiveness.


Aaron Siskind, another photographer who found himself being influenced by the Abstract Expressionist style many painters were experimenting with.


Harry Callahan, like Siskind paid a lot of attention to linear form and also taught at the Institute of Design, the school that had been started in 1937 in Chicago by Moholy-Nagy as the New Bauhaus.
