THOMAS BARROW – THE AUTOMOBILE
2022-01-10During the mid-1960s, Thomas Barrow studied with Aaron Siskind at the Institute of Design in Chicago. While there he completed a visual study comprised of 115 photographs entitled, The Automobile. This series formed his thesis project and examined the role of cars in American culture. The series presented three individual yet connecting sections, which follow the automobile from display in the showroom and at car shows, through daily travels on the street and within parking lots, and eventually to their demise, discarded at the junkyard.
