With his self-made cameras, Andreas Feininger achieved an unprecedented compression of space, capturing the skyscrapers of New York with the use of long focal lengths. Photography is more than the depiction of a view in his work; it generates a new perception of what is photographed. | | | | | | | | | | Andreas Feininger, Broken Shell, 79-15/2, 1979 | | | | | | Lempertz is dedicating an extensive exhibition to this discoverer of special views and insights in its headquarters on Cologne’s Neumarkt. Featuring 70 pictures from various work groups and creative phases, the Cologne exhibition offers an overview of Feininger’s oeuvre. His well-known visual homages to his city of New York from a distance and close up are complemented by many surprising views of how a shell, a bone or a feather can also be seen, illustrating Feininger’s particularly impressive mastery of light and perspective. Whilst his early works in the 1930s reflect the influence of Bauhaus where his father Lyonel taught, Andreas Feininger found his own photographic language in New York.
