This catalogue is the first to survey his beguiling work.Artist Mnika Szildi, who worked as an archivist for Chasanoff, contributes an outline of Chasanoff's life and practice, tracing the development of his art from his early experiments with light, shadow, and color in his lens-shot photographs to his late-career Preferring to experiment away from the art world, Chasanoff rarely exhibited his photographs, his art remaining unknown to all but a select circle of friends and collaborators.
