Fred Stein: Paris New York

By Rosemary Sullivan, Fred Stein, Gilles Mora, et al.

Book Overview

Fred Stein (1909-1967) was a master of street photography. As an early pioneer of the hand-held camera, he captured poignant moments in the street life of two of the world's great cities: Paris and New York, where he lived after fleeing from Nazi Germany. This same immediacy infuses his portraits of the great personalities of the era, among them Albert Einstein, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Marc Chagall. Stein's images are a vital document of the twentieth century and an important part of photo history. He left behind an existensive oeuvre which this publication presents comprehensively for the first time.
