Bill Silano is overlooked as a pioneer of color photography.
Along with Hiro, he trail blazed the use of late crisp light, deep bold saturated color with simplified and graphic compositions. To get the deep blues Silano used a polarizer filter. This paved the way for a contemporary iconography used color photographers today. Unfortunately, Silano gets no virtually credit for co-inventing a style of art 16 x 20 sheet Framed: 21 x 17 Printed somewhere between the late 1960's and mid 1980's At the time, it could be argued that Cibachrome was the best color print possible with the exception of a Dye Transfer. It was a plastic, polyester based print and the colors did not fade.
