Aaron Siskind, Veracruz 96, 1973. Siskind separates the wall and its lettering from the surroundings (context) we would see if we were there, looking at this building. Instead of showing us the entire wall or all the letters, he moves in close and focuses our attention on parts of letters, layers of paint, lights and darks, and surface textures of the building. When a subject is isolated and removed from its usual frame of visual reference, we say in the art world that it is abstracted.
