Eleanor and Barbara, Lake Michigan c. 1953

"Eleanor and Barbara, Lake Michigan" is a stark black and white photograph taken by Harry Callahan in 1953. The image features two figures, likely Callahan's wife Eleanor and daughter Barbara, standing in the shallows of Lake Michigan. The vast expanse of water and the hazy sky create a sense of isolation and serenity. Callahan's signature minimalist style, characterized by sharp lines and a focus on form and composition, is evident in the image. The photograph embodies the spirit of the early 20th century, capturing a fleeting moment in time and highlighting the beauty of everyday life.
