Throughout his career, Harry Callahan quietly but consistently explored new ways of looking at and presenting the world in his photographs. His nature and landscape photography were influenced by Ansel Adams; however, Callahan was boldly innovative and experimental with the technical side of photography, using double exposures and extreme contrast, wide-angle lenses and colour to create lyrical, highly personal photographs. He was celebrated as a photographer of nature, the city and women, often with his wife as a model. This book first accompanied Callahan's National Gallery of Art exhibition and it traces the numerous experiments Callahan made throughout his career through 119 reproduced photographs.
