SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Gendell Gallery is saddened to
announce the passing of Jim Steinhardt. Over the years the gallery has
had the
honor to present the work of New York “Street Photographer”, Jim
Steinhardt,
from his two noted series, “Homage to the Working Man” and “Witness to
Childhood”.
First exhibited during the 1940’s & 1950’s,
this body
of work exemplified Steinhardt’s photographic ideal to “seek a pure
vision of
the social landscape of New York”, paralleling that of New York’s Photo
League.
