About
Why this artist matters now
Jay Maisel is an American photographer known for saturated color work and geometric composition in urban and architectural subjects. Based in New York City since the 1950s, his practice emerged alongside the postwar expansion of color photography as a fine art medium. His photographs have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art. Maisel's distinctive palette and attention to light and form across decades of work have established him as a significant figure in American color photography.
