Feininger, Andreas (Bernhard Lyonel)

Feininger, Andreas (Bernhard Lyonel)
born Dec. 27, 1906, Paris, Fr.
died Feb. 18, 1999, New York, N.Y., U.S.

French-born U.S. photographer and writer.

Son of painter Lyonel Feininger, he graduated from the Bauhaus in 1925. After studying architecture, he moved to Sweden in 1933 and established a firm specializing in architectural and industrial photography. Among his best-known works are his richly detailed black-and-white views of New York City, which he achieved through experimental techniques and devices that he pioneered throughout his career. He also took many photographs of natural objects, such as shells, trees, and bones. In 1939 he settled in New York, and from 1943 to 1962 he worked for Life magazine. He also wrote prolifically on photographic technique.
