Apollo Theatre

Aaron Siskind · c. 1937

You're looking at Apollo Theatre — a photograph by Siskind, around nineteen thirty-seven. The piece is gelatin silver print, printed nineteen eighty, about 23 by 18 centimeters. It is among the darkest surfaces here: measured across the whole picture it gives back very little light. You can pick out the crowd.
