After photographing life on the streets of New York, he joined the famous Photo League, a cooperative of photographers who shared artistic and social ideals, and befriended celebrated lensmen including Sid Grossman and Weegee. During World War II, he served as a combat photographer, and the fight against fascism strengthened his belief in Marxism and the working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiving between New York and Paris, he amassed a huge body of work that combined elements of New York street photography with lyrical humanism in the French style. His subjects were many and varied: passengers on the subway and tourists in the streets, Spanish fishermen and American beatniks, protests and demonstrations, landscapes and trees. But no matter where he found himself, he looked for beauty in the everyday and never lost his fundamental compassion and solidarity with ordinary people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume in the \u003cem\u003ePhotofile\u003c\/em\u003e series brings together a selection of Stettner's most important images from throughout his long and prolific career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginie Chardin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 4.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500411322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChardin, Virginie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eVirginie Chardin\u003c\/strong\u003e writes widely on photography and is the author of \u003cem\u003eElegance: The Seeberger Brothers and the Birth of Fashion Photography\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Virginie Chardin \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47659126358173,"sku":"9780500411322","price":29.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_5efd9ada-5289-47c2-951f-624f9b942728.jpg?v=1771350888","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/louis-stettner-photofile-9780500411322","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
