Like Paul Outerbridge and Ralph Steiner, he applied the modernist aesthetic to promoting American products and industries, with the goal of merging fine art and commercial photography. As did many photographers of his generation, he began by studying painting and drawing, evident in his carefully wrought compositions.",
