Millerton, N.Y.— From April 11th through May 5th, The Mad Rose Gallery presents an exhibit of the black and white Photography of Fred Stein.
Fred Stein’s journey through history landed him in 1930’s 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.
Peter Stein, the son of Fred Stein, manages his father’s archive and is the producer and co-director of the documentary film “Out of Exile, The Photography of Fred Stein.” Peter Stein’s career as a filmmaker spans over three decades, encompassing cult classics such as “Pet Sematary,” “C.H.U.D.,” and “Friday the 13th Part 2.”
The exhibit will open with a series of free special events on Saturday, April 13th. From 1:30 p.m., there will be a screening of “Out of Exile – The Photography of Fred Stein” presented at The Moviehouse in Millerton, N.Y. followed by a discussion with Peter Stein, hosted by curator Neal Rosenthal. At 4 p.m., there is a reception and a meet and greet with Peter Stein at The Mad Rose Gallery. Reservations are required. Reservations and more information can be found online.
The exhibit runs from April 11th through May 5th at The Mad Rose Gallery on North Elm Street in Millerton, N.Y.
