April 11 12pm – May 5 5pm

Mad Rose Gallery, Millerton

Fred Stein’s journey through history landed him in 1930s Paris, a seminal time for photography. Forced to flee from Germany by the Nazis in 1933, Stein reinvented himself as a photographer in Paris, pioneering techniques that would define his craft. He shot exclusively in black-and-white, utilizing available light and hand-held cameras to create compositions that transcended mere observation, embodying the principles of Modernism and the New Vision.

The Gallery will host an “In Conversation” Sunday, April 21st from 3:30-5pm with Peter Stein featuring Lothar Osterburg titled “Immigrant in NewCountry”. Lothar Osterburg is a German-born, New York-based artist and master printer in intaglio, who works in sculpture, photography, printmaking and video. He is best known for photogravures featuring rough small-scale models of rustic structures, water and air vessels, and imaginary cities, staged in evocative settings and photographed to appear life-size to disorienting, mysterious or whimsical effect.
