Description from the seller
Portrait of Albert Einstein by Philippe Halsman.
The famous physicist Albert Einstein is immortalized in 1947 in Princeton, United States.
Albert Einstein, then a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, poses in a grave and pensive attitude.
We are then two years after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Einstein, who had co-signed a letter in 1939 to President Roosevelt warning him about Nazi research (which would initiate the Manhattan Project), lives with the burden of the destructive repercussions of his own physical theories.
Black-and-white offset print with a glossy lamination. Hot-surface lamination.
Old Misomex mounting specimen (Film replication machine for the imposition of offset plates).
Printer SERAG, 2001.
Format 16.4 x 12.8 cm, glued to a wooden board 30 x 24 cm.
In very good condition.
Label and annotations on the back.
Philippe Halsman, born May 2, 1906, in Riga, and died June 25, 1979, in New York, is an American photographer of Latvian origin, famous for his portraits of personalities and his fashion photography.

Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Nixon—the list of personalities who would indulge in this game is long…
