Fred Stein's photographs capture powerful images
of the struggle and beauty of human life - images that transcend
the cultural moment:
the romance of street life in 1930's Paris; the energy of New
York
during and just after World War II; and hundreds of compelling
portraits of the most brilliant minds of the time. In the words
of Herman Wouk: "Fred Stein has recorded the central years
of our century with a flood of pictorial impressions, and a
multitude of faces, famous and anonymous, which will illuminate
the period
forever."
