Born in France, the son of renowned artist Lyonel Feininger, Andreas Feininger was educated as an architect in Germany before he became a photographer. After working in Sweden, he came to the United States at the age of 33 and in 1943, became a staff photographer at LIFE magazine, where he spent the next twenty years. He is best known for iconographic images of his adopted land, with a focus on powerful city- scapes, which are imbued with the strict sense of form and proportion developed during his architectural studies. Indeed, the city was to be the focus of much of his work: "I see the city as a living organism, dynamic, sometimes violent." The scale and dynamism of Feininger's work captured the vast scope and raw majesty of an energetic and evolving land. His precise and unorthodox vision magnified the grandeur in the everyday and the mundane. An accomplished technician and acclaimed writer, Feininger is also widely respected for his photographic textbooks.

Seller's Description:
VG. Some rubbing and shelf wear to jacket. Toning to spine. Quarto. Hardcover. Bound in grey cloth with silver/black stamped illustrations and titles in illustrated jacket. 231 pages: illustrations; 32 cm. Feininger has selected 199 of his finest photographs from 1928 to the present. His accompanying narrative is a personal history, covering his entire life. Especially interesting is the relation of his youthful indecision and questing. The book serves as a retrospective of his work and richly shows the variety of his art and technique. A prolific author, Feininger is well able to verbalize his feelings about his art and to write clearly about his sometimes unorthodox methods. Here, he offers a litte of his philosophy of art, and some general discussion of his technique. The quality of the prints is excellent.
