Paris - New York

Fred Stein (1909 Dresden - 1967 New York) was a master of the art of street photography. As an early pioneer of the hard-held camera, he captured poignant moments in the street life of two of the world’s great cites: Paris and New York, where he lived after fleeing from Nazi Germany. Stein left behind a complex and extensive oeuvre which this publication presents comprehensively for the first time. This new edition is released on the occasion of the premiere screening of the documentary film Light Out of Darkness: The Photography of Fred Stein.
