Today we are celebrating the birthday of PAUL STRAND! (1890-1976) Paul Strand, Geometric Backyards, New York, 1917 Platinum Print “When he made this picture in 1917, Strand was living in his family’s townhouse on West 83rd Street in New York. For twenty-four years he had seen the view from the back window. But it was only after the summer of 1916, when he had made abstractions from porch shadows in Connecticut, that he could see the backyards, sheets, and shadows this way. Once he had discovered the picture under his nose, Strand might have said, as did the sculptor Archipenko, “New York is a visible abstraction.” -From the Metropolitan Museum of Art
