Last week I had went on a trip to The Sidney Mishkin Gallery. This gallery was way different from what I was expecting. The photographs taken by Marcel Sternberg were very fascinating and unique for its time. I was captivated by how Marcel Sternberg was able to show the personalities of well known people from the 20th century that the public did not often see. When I saw the camera Marcel Sternberg used, I was surprised; it was only a 35mm model camera! Sternberg’s camera was small and he didn’t use a high quality studio and yet he was still able to nicely capture the moments and atheistic in the portraits. I liked how he was able to portray his message across to the public. Overall I enjoyed most of the photos taken by Marcel Sternberg, however my two favorite photos photographed by him are the Diego Rivera and Albert Einstein portraits. Sternberg’s photo of Diego Rivera showed the crazy persona that Rivera had felt in himself. Diego Rivera’s eyes were rolled back and honestly; it was pretty scary. But what I liked about Sternberg’s photo of Diego Rivera was the fact that Rivera was genuinely pleased with the outcome of the picture. Diego Rivera had said that Marcel Sternberg was the first photographer who was interested in showing his(Rivera’s) true personality. The photo itself of Diego Rivera was captivating. It draws you in because it was so different from any other photograph seen. Another photograph that I enjoyed from The Sidney Mishkin Gallery were the photos of Albert Eisenstein. Albert Einstein looked really cute and happy in his portraits. I enjoyed the story that came with the photo as well. It was fun to see Albert Eisenstein’s expression and the story of why he had to wear his suspenders. Though Albert Einstein was a genius, it’s nice to see a different side of him.
