FLEETING MOMENTS
Fred Stein (1909, Dresden - 1967, New York) is one of the pioneers of
35mm photography. 100 years ago, Leica revolutionized photography with the introduction of the Leica I
as the first mass-produced 35mm camera. When
Fred and Lilo Stein emigrated to Paris in 1933, they brought the camera with them as a mutual gift under the pretext of a honeymoon, and the camera became an indispensable tool for the law graduate:
"The leica tought me to photograph."
From 1933 onwards, Fred Stein traveled around his new surroundings in Paris as an attentive observer, capturing the various facets of society on the streets of Paris in his photo reportages - honestly, unsparingly and humorously.
After the family managed to flee to New York in 1941, he made a name for himself there as a portrait photographer of his social and intellectual environment.
His most famous photograph is a much-publicized portrait of Albert Einstein
from 1946. He continued to photograph the city of New York according to the criteria of the New Vision and also produced photo reportages of metropolitan life here.
