Harold Feinstein

Center for Photography Lumiere Brothers, Moscow

A retrospective exhibition. Most of his photographs are devoted to his native Coney Island, the peninsula, whose appearance had been constantly changing under the influence of immigrants from different parts of the world. The beach is a figurative playground where America had been maturing as a nation. Nevertheless Feinstein's breadth and exposure are far wider that urban landscape softened by the presence of the ocean, the beach and the bright sun. His work covers a wide array of subjects, including portraits and urban scenes. His first retrospective exhibition in Moscow also features some of his best known street photographs as well as his lesser known, but recently released images from his life as an army draftee during the Korean War and some nudes, still-life and photomontages. Harold Feinstein was born in Coney Island in 1931. He began his career in photography in 1946 at the age of 15 and within four short years, Edward Steichen, an early supporter, had purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art MoMA.
