Harry Callahan is known for finding abstraction in nature, making photographs with a balance of form and content that results in a classical simplicity and order. Throughout his life, he took an intuitive, experimental approach to the mechanics and materials of photography, exploiting the inherent properties of the camera and its ability to render detail, texture, and tone with objective precision.
