Born in France, the son of renowned artist Lyonel Feininger, Andreas Feininger was educated as an architect in Germany before he became a photographer. After working in Sweden, he came to the United States at the age of 33 and in 1943, became a staff photographer at LIFE magazine, where he spent the next twenty years. He is best known for iconographic images of his adopted land, with a focus on powerful city- scapes, which are imbued with the strict sense of form and proportion developed during his architectural studies. Indeed, the city was to be the focus of much of his work: aI see the city as a living organism, dynamic, sometimes violent.a The scale and dynamism of Feiningeras work captured the vast scope and raw majesty of an energetic and evolving land. His precise and unorthodox vision magnified the grandeur in the everyday and the mundane. An accomplished technician and acclaimed writer, Feininger is also widely respected for his photographic textbooks.

Feierabend, Peter, Hayden, JonathanSports es un libro sobre una de nuestras preocupaciones crónicas y universales. Desde el júbilo de la selección brasileña levantando el trofeo Jules Rimet hasta los niños descalzos que juegan a futbol en las calles de Soweto; desde la intimidante belleza del coche de F1 de Ferrari y sus records mundiales hasta el esgrimista olimpico desconsolado en la derrota. Pero se trata tambien de un libro sobre el reportaje y el arte de la fotografia. Aunque todas las fotografias tienen una historia detras, a menudo es el dominio tecnico y el talento fotografico lo que inmortaliza para siempre la mezcla de accion, espiritu humano y emocion en estado puro que, por algun proceso de alquimia, dando como resultado una imagen inolvidable durante muchos años.
