> Andreas Feininger
Leica Photographer, Andreas Feininger,
gelatin silver print, 1951
Andreas Feininger (1906-1999) worked
as a staff photographer for Life magazine from 1943 to 1962, and was an
architect of the postwar photography movement, whose large format pictures
set a trend in art toward physical immersion. Feininger published dozens
of books of photographs and volumes of technical advice to photography
hobbyists.
A retrospective of Feininger’s work will be on display at the Loeb
Art Center at Vassar College through March 16. Joel Smith, curator of
the exhibit, will give a lecture at 5:30pm on Thursday, February 13 in
Taylor Hall entitled “In Plain Sight: Andreas Feininger and Postwar
Visual Culture.” A reception following the lecture will be held in
the Loeb Art Center. For more information, call 437-5235.
