Mad Rose Gallery presents an exhibition featuring the black-and-white photography of Fred Stein, which will run from April 11 through May 5. Mad Rose Gallery is open Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays from 12 – 5 p.m., Saturdays from 12 – 6 p.m. or by appointment.
Fred Stein's journey through history landed him in 1930s 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.
Mad Rose Gallery will host an “In Conversation” on April 21 from 3:30 – 5 p.m. with Peter Stein featuring Lothar Osterburg titled “Immigrant in New Country.” Peter Stein is the son of Fred Stein and manages his father's archive. Osterburg is a German-born, New York-based artist and master printer in intaglio who works in sculpture, photography, printmaking and video. He is best known for photogravures featuring rough, small-scale models of rustic structures, water and air vessels, and imaginary cities, staged in evocative settings and photographed to appear life-size to disorienting, mysterious or whimsical effect.
