Note du spécialiste

'Harry Callahan’s Eleanor, Chicago is the Mona Lisa of post-World War II photography and an archetypal collaboration between artist and muse, his wife. The detail is exquisite, the tendril-like hair drifting in the water, the elusive nipple under water, the absolutely serene expression.' – W.M. Hunt
