    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[As indicated by the inscription&quot;HD,&quot; this photograph is part of a documentary series focusing on the social and economic conditions of Harlem in the 1930s, made as part of a project by the Feature Group, a production unit of photographers from the Photo League. The Feature Group project was intended to produce a book, but was never completed, although some of Siskind&#039;s photos (this one excepted) were included in &quot;Harlem Document&quot; (published in 1981). The photo shows the backstage area of the Lafayette Theater in Harlem, NY. The famous theater, the first major theater to desegregate, was a center of Harlem entertainment from 1912 through the 1930s, closing in 1951. Although the photo is dated 1937, Siskind wrote in &quot;Harlem Document&quot; (p. 78) that &quot;[r]ecords kept were incomplete, casual and, alas,.. mostly gone.&quot; During the 30s the Lafayette Theater was the New York home of the Works Project Administration, Federal Theatre Project&#039;s Negro Theatre Unit (1936-1939). The construction behind the central figure, stenciled with &quot;HAITI,&quot; provides a clue to the time when the photograph was taken and the activity in which the central figure is engaged. The Negro Theatre Unit performed two plays with Carribean settings around 1937, the time attributed to the photograph: Shakespeare&#039;s &quot;Macbeth,&quot; (which became known as the &quot;Voodoo Macbeth&quot;) which ran from April 14 to June 30, 1936, set in a Carribean island similar to Haiti, staged and directed by Orson Wells; and William Du Bois&#039; &quot;Haiti, A Drama of the Black Napoleon&quot; (a dramatization of the life of Toussaint Louverture), which ran from March 2 to November 5, 1938. The marking on the set would seem to indicate that the photo was made during the 1938 &quot;Haiti&quot; production. The subject of the photograph is surprising and confusing -- a well-dressed man blowing into a raging fire backstage! Perhaps he is making smoke for the production by blowing into the fire, or he may be stoking the fire to be used in a scene.  Although this is part of the &quot;Harlem Document&quot; group of photos taken by Siskind in the 1930s, it was not included in the 1981 book, Harlem Document: Photographs 1932-1940: Aaron Siskind (Banks, Ann, and Charles Traub, eds. Harlem Document: Photographs 1932-1940: Aaron Siskind.  Providence: Matrix Publication, 1981).<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Aaron Siskind was born on December 4, 1903, in New York City. He attended City College, earning his BSS in Literature in 1926. After college, he taught English in the New York City public school system from 1926 to 1947. In 1929, he married Sidonie Glaller, and received his first camera as a wedding gift. Throughout the 1930s, he was active in the New York Photo League and formed Feature Group, a documentary production unit as a part of the Photo League School.  The photographs produced by Siskind and his associates were published as ‘The Feature Group’ in Photo Notes in 1940, most of them featuring scenes of city life. In the 1940s, Siskind developed ties with several New York School artists, and his work became increasingly abstract and symbolic. In 1945, he published ‘The Drama of Objects’, a series of photographs featuring compositions comprised of objects he found around Martha’s Vineyard, MA.  During this period and into the 1950s, his work was regularly exhibited in New York City, particularly at the Charles Egan Gallery. In addition to his ongoing photography career, Siskind  taught photography at Trenton Junior College in New Jersey from 1947 to 1949; the Illinois Institute of Technology, Institute of Design in Chicago from 1951 to 1971, also serving as head of the Photographic Department from 1959 to 1971; and the Rhode Island School of Design from 1971 to 1976. He had a close connection with fellow photographer Harry Callahan, whom he met while teaching at Black Mountain College in the summer of 1951; the two taught and worked together for most of Siskind’s later career.  From 1960 to 1970, he served as co-editor of Choice Magazine. He was a founding member of both the Society for Photographic Education and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York and served as a board member for the Gallery of Contemporary Art in Chicago. He maintained an active photography career until his death in Providence, Rhode Island in February, 1991.]]></dcterms:description>

The woman at the far left is leaning on a wooden partition as she gazes directly at the viewer; her look of confusion might be in reference to the presence of the photographer. The woman in the white dress is the focal point of the photograph; she sings or exclaims passionately and takes no heed of the of the women that surround her. She also places one foot on the ledge of the wooden partition as she props up a baby in her lap. Her white uniform dress is traditional church attire among some African American women. The woman in the floral hat at her right, stares at her in awe or annoyance. The woman at the far right pays no to attention to the woman in white or the photographer and stares straight ahead at the service.<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A group of boys play in and outside of a boarded up tenement building. One boy, his face cast in shadow, looks down from the second story window at the boys on the first story ledge below. Both of these boys face the window, which is slatted with wooden boards, in conversation with someone inside. A small hand reaches out of the window and grazes the leg of the standing boy. The front door of the building is entirely boarded up; the warning “DANGE. KEEOU [sic]” is written in large, scraggly handwriting on the scrap wood.<br />

After college, he taught English in the New York City public school system from 1926 to 1947. In 1929, he married Sidonie Glaller, and received his first camera as a wedding gift. Throughout the 1930s, he was active in the New York Photo League and formed Feature Group, a documentary production unit as a part of the Photo League School.  The photographs produced by Siskind and his associates were published as ‘The Feature Group’ in Photo Notes in 1940, most of them featuring scenes of city life. In the 1940s, Siskind developed ties with several New York School artists, and his work became increasingly abstract and symbolic. In 1945, he published ‘The Drama of Objects’, a series of photographs featuring compositions comprised of objects he found around Martha’s Vineyard, MA.  During this period and into the 1950s, his work was regularly exhibited in New York City, particularly at the Charles Egan Gallery. In addition to his ongoing photography career, Siskind  taught photography at Trenton Junior College in New Jersey from 1947 to 1949; the Illinois Institute of Technology, Institute of Design in Chicago from 1951 to 1971, also serving as head of the Photographic Department from 1959 to 1971; and the Rhode Island School of Design from 1971 to 1976. He had a close connection with fellow photographer Harry Callahan, whom he met while teaching at Black Mountain College in the summer of 1951; the two taught and worked together for most of Siskind’s later career.

    <dcterms:subject><![CDATA[cities; black-and-white photographs; apartment house]]></dcterms:subject>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This photograph places the viewer in the position of a person looking into a bedroom from a hallway. In the foreground, there is the opened bedroom door, the frame of the door, and decorative wooden elements above the doorway. The bedroom is lit by a single, bare light bulb hanging from a string. Against the back wall, there is a vanity with neatly arranged toiletries. The wall surrounding the mirror of the vanity is covered with magazine clippings. Between the doorway and the vanity, the foot of the bed with the legs and feet of a man who is lying on the bed are also seen. The effect is that of a peek into a private space, made more immediate by the glimpse of the man&#039;s lower body. Although this is part of the &quot;Harlem Document&quot; group of photos taken by Siskind in the 1930s, it was not included in the 1981 book, Harlem Document: Photographs 1932-1940: Aaron Siskind (Banks, Ann, and Charles Traub, eds.

The actor, dressed in a suit and hat, looks to the audience as he puts his weight on his back leg and gesticulates with his arms. With his hands making fists and his face in a grimace, he seems to recounting a tale of fisticuffs. He is lit by the stage lights and the camera while the audience sits in semi-darkness.<br />

In the 1940s, Siskind developed ties with several New York School artists, and his work became increasingly abstract and symbolic. In 1945, he published ‘The Drama of Objects’, a series of photographs featuring compositions comprised of objects he found around Martha’s Vineyard, MA.  During this period and into the 1950s, his work was regularly exhibited in New York City, particularly at the Charles Egan Gallery. In addition to his ongoing photography career, Siskind  taught photography at Trenton Junior College in New Jersey from 1947 to 1949; the Illinois Institute of Technology, Institute of Design in Chicago from 1951 to 1971, also serving as head of the Photographic Department from 1959 to 1971; and the Rhode Island School of Design from 1971 to 1976. He had a close connection with fellow photographer Harry Callahan, whom he met while teaching at Black Mountain College in the summer of 1951; the two taught and worked together for most of Siskind’s later career.  From 1960 to 1970, he served as co-editor of Choice Magazine. He was a founding member of both the Society for Photographic Education and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York and served as a board member for the Gallery of Contemporary Art in Chicago. He maintained an active photography career until his death in Providence, Rhode Island in February, 1991.]]></dcterms:description>
