FEININGER'S CHICAGO, 1941

65 Photographs by Andreas Feininger

Andreas Feininger was a struggling young photographer, living in New York City, when he got the idea to do a picture essay on Chicago for Life magazine.

He obtained Life's approval of the project; drove to Chicago; took a total of 312 shots in twenty days; and put together a selection of the best pictures for his essay.

Unfortunately, the magazine never used these remarkable photographs. It was 1941, and the more pressing stories of the time took precedence.

Sixty of Feininger's best pictures from 1941, plus 5 pictures of Chicago taken in 1948, can now be seen, most of them for the first time, in this breathtaking volume.
