Subject: [Leica] Feininger exhibition (Frankfurt/ Main)

Just saw a short announcement in tv: Frankfurt/ Main (Germany) 
shows Andreas Feininger, beginning at Dec., 17th.

Feiniger, who stoped taking pix in the late 80ies because of his
bad eyes, said in the interview, that simplicity and clarity make
a good picture. Basic assumption, that the photographer is interested 
in the subject. Since he was never interested in humans (except some
rare intelligent ones), he never made portraits. He was interested in
structures (daily life and microcosm).

Absolutely impressing b/w examples.
