Description Over nearly eight decades, Louis Stettner (1922-2016) defined a singular poetic vision in photography, honing a style influenced by both American street photography and French humanism.
Stettner began working in the 1930s, becoming a member of the Photo League in New York and befriending Lisette Model, Paul Strand, and Weegee.
After serving in the U.
Army as a combat photographer, he moved to Paris in 1947, where he met the influential street photographer Brassa .
