[Einstein, Albert. (1879 - 1955)] Halsman, Philippe. (1906 - 1979). Portrait Photograph. Black and White Portrait Photograph of Albert Einstein. One of a limited edition of 99 copies, numbered and signed by Halsman, of the iconic photograph originally created in 1947 and later the subject of a US postage stamp (1966).
Halsman's career came to a dramatic halt in the summer of 1940, when Hitler's troops invaded Paris. His wife, daughter, sister, and brother-in-law, who all held French passports, immigrated to America, but as a Latvian citizen, Philippe Halsman could not obtain a visa. For several long months he waited in Marseilles along with many others who had fled the accruing horror of fascist Europe. Finally, through the intervention of Albert Einstein (who had met Halsman's sister in the 1920s), Halsman obtained permission to enter the United States, and he arrived in New York in November 1940 with little more than his camera. To our mind, the present work is infused with the depth of the artist's gratitude to his subject. Fine; glazed and framed.
