Exhibition Review: Alfred Eisenstaedt / “Portraits of the Past”

Exhibition Review: Alfred Eisenstaedt / “Portraits of the Past”

The “father of photojournalism,” Alfred Eisenstaedt is currently on view at Robert Mann Gallery, New York. As a child in Berlin, Alfred’s first camera was an Eastman Kodak Number Three. In 1935, Alfred migrated to New York, where he worked for LIFE Magazine as a photojournalist. He is best known for his photographs of Hollywood starlets Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe. Alfred’s work is very much a reflection of 20th-century iconography. He states, “In a photograph a person’s eyes tell much, sometimes they tell all.” If you find yourself in New York, feel free to check out the exhibition through April 27th, 2019.
