ART SINSABAUGH, Chicago Landscape #151 (from Chicago Landscape), 1964, 10.875x19.5" Gelatin silver print, Printed c. 1964, Signed, dated, and inscribed in pencil on mount recto below print: Chi. LA. #151 / Art Sinsabaugh '64.

Art Sinsabaugh's prints showing his modern vision of the urban landscape remains some of the most important and visually complex in American photography. His work is exceedingly rare.

Arthur Reeder Sinsabaugh (1924-1983) made his reputation as a landscape photographer and was known for his extensive application of the banquet camera, a device that enabled use of 12 x 20-inch sheet film to produce long, horizontal scenes. His trademark subjects were the prairies and plateaus of Illinois and Indiana (1960-70) and Urban landscapes in the Chicago area, but he also photographed throughout Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Texas (1980-81). Although Sinsabaugh was a Junior Photographer for the War Department during high school, his formal training came from Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, and László Moholy-Nagy at the Institute of Design, Illinois Institute of Technology (B.S., 1949; M.S., 1967). He later taught there as an instructor in photography (1951-59) before moving to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Sinsabaugh was a founding member of the Society for Photographic Education and the recipient of fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (1969) and the National Endowment for the Arts (1976). He was elected a Nettie Maries Jones Fellow in 1983. Since 1978 Sinsabaugh's archives have been housed in the Indiana University Art Museum.
