Andreas Feininger - Stockholm 1933 – 1939

“This exhibition features 51 photographs of Stockholm, Sweden by the German-American photographer Andreas Feininger (1906-1999) taken between 1933 and 1939. Best known today for his stunning urban panoramas of Manhattan and the extreme close-ups of natural objects he took during his 20 years as a staff photographer for Life Magazine, Feininger began his career in Stockholm in the 1930s. Trained at the Bauhaus school in Weimar, Germany, he moved to Paris and then Stockholm when the Nazis came to power and quickly established himself as one of Sweden’s foremost architectural photographers. The Stockholm photographs reflect his architectural training as well as Bauhaus theories of photography considered provocative by the Swedish establishment in the 1930s. During Feininger’s years in Stockholm he developed the techniques and themes he was to explore throughout his long career, honing his photographic vision in a city he considered superior to other European and American capitals from a photographer’s point of view. His carefully-composed, sharply-focused street scenes and harbor panoramas—often taken with a super-telephoto camera of his own design—demonstrate the great technical skill that astonished American audiences in later decades. The exhibition is organized by the Stockholm City Museum (Stockholms stadsmuseum).”
