Andreas Feininger passou a juventude na Alemanha, onde estudou na Bauhaus de Weimar e na Escola de Arquitectura, em Zerbst. Inicialmente, trabalhou como arquitecto em Dessau e Hamburgo, mas para o final dos anos vinte começou a interessar-se por fotografia. As suas primeiras publicações sobre fotografia surgiram em 1930. Feininger possuía uma maneira única de combinar os conteúdos da fotografia com critérios formais tais como estruturas, composição da imagem e perspectiva. As suas fotografias de Nova Iorque são sempre estruturadas arquitectónicamente, adaptando-se ao rectângulo da imagem sem nunca se assemelharem a perspectivas através de uma moldura. No seu trabalho fotojornalístico para a revista Life, Feininger colocou uma ênfase particular sobre uma combinação criteriosa do conteúdo e da expressão da imagem. Segundo Feininger, a história devia ser contada pelas próprias fotografias, reduzindo-se assim ao mínimo o texto que as acompanha. A fotografia de Feininger cobre todo o espectro da actividade fotográfica: desde cenas de rua cheias de vida até perspectivas de cidade cuidadosamente compostas, desde paisagens quase abstractas até pormenores minúsculos de plantas, pedras, conchas ou esculturas. Andreas Feiniger nasceu em Paris em 1906 e morreu em Nova Iorque em 1999.

Born in Paris and raised in Germany, Andreas Feininger was influenced by the Bauhaus Movement. His father, artist Lyonel Feininger, taught at the Bauhaus prior to World War II. By the 1920s, the younger Feininger had already established several stylistic traits in his photographic work, such as monumentalized subject matter and emphasis on line. Trained as an architect, Feininger remained interested in building structures and capturing their images on film. His nature photographs tend to reveal patterns in animal and plant forms as found in the backbones of a snake or veins in a leaf. Feininger emigrated to America in 1939. Between 1943 to 1962 he completed nearly 350 photographic essays for Life magazine. Feininger was a free-lance photographer as well as one of the foremost teachers of photography. Besides instructional guides he wrote more than 40 photographic books that were translated into 13 foreign languages. City life has attracted Feininger?s attention because of his love of buildings and light effects on them. He has portrayed all the aspects of the city-its buildings, people, traffic jams, as well as its ugliness, violence, and brutality. He is best known for his photos that captured the majesty and the energy of American cities. Major solo exhibitions have been held at The American Museum of Natural History, New York (1957); Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C (1963); International Center of Photography, New York (1976); Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg, Germany (1981); and the Altonaer Museum, Hamburg, Germany (1999). A solo exhibition of Feininger?s work originated at The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Poughkeepsie, New York in 2003 and will travel to other American museums in 2004. Selected public collections containing Feininger?s work include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the International Center of Photography in New York; International Museum of Photography, George Eastman House, Rochester, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.

JG, o meu obrigada.
Gosto particularmente de fotografias a preto e branco.
Adorei o Nautilus: lembra-me uma escadaria que há no Vaticano, por um lado e, por outro lado, sendo um motivo marinho...
Também me "tocou" a Route 66 - um sonho a não concretizar, creio.
