I found a few of his books in the library, and there are several websites if you would like to find out some more information on him. Andreas Feininger spent most of his working life in the United States, and he died there in nineteen ninety-nine, but he was born in Germany. His career was unusual because he trained as an architect before becoming a photographer. 00:01:48,900 I decided I wanted to learn more about him when I recently saw his photographs of New York. Some of them are really familiar because you see them a lot on posters. I didn't realize they'd all been taken by the same photographer. 00:02:02,960 Feininger worked as an architect in offices in Germany and France, but he decided to pursue photography as a career and moved to New York. 00:02:13,120 He worked for Life magazine for twenty years and completed more than four hundred and thirty assignments. He particularly liked to photograph wide views of cities in different lights. But what really made him stand out from other photographers was his fascination with the idea of photographing not just the beauty of cities, but showing them as a living, dynamic organism, sometimes even violent with all their confusion and even their ugliness. 00:02:43,680 Although he loved his work for Life magazine and had many opportunities to travel, he left in nineteen sixty-two because he was eager to produce books of his photographs and techniques. However, he continued to take photos of urban scenes, many of which are regarded as classic works today. 00:03:08,360 During Feininger's life, he had many exhibitions and published many books. The first major photographic exhibition to include his work took place in nineteen fifty-five at the Museum of Modern Art when Feininger was one of several photographers represented in an exhibition called The Family of Man. Two years later, in nineteen fifty-seven, he had a solo exhibition of his nature-themed works, which for the first time were mainly taken in color. He continued having exhibitions after he left Life magazine. The largest of these was in nineteen seventy-seven, which was a retrospective exhibition of the International Center of Photography, bringing together photos taken at different stages of his life. There are permanent collections of his works in a number of galleries and museums in the States and Germany. 00:04:03,220 Now for the books. Feininger has published a lot, but they're not all available. I've got a few here. The first one is called New York in the Forties, so that tells you what it's about. Most of the photos are of buildings in the city, and they clearly show the methods he was so well known for. The second one's title is America Yesterday. It covers the nineteen forties to nineteen sixties, and most of the photos are urban. Unlike some of his other books, though, the photos aren't just of the center of American cities, but the suburbs too, and their industries. It includes the famous nineteen forty-two midtown Manhattan shot taken from twenty-five miles away. In fact, all of the subjects in this book were photographed outdoors, and there are some wonderful ideas in this book that can help us improve our own photographs. For example, Feininger always shows great understanding of the importance of light, and that's clearly displayed in this collection of photos. The third book, That's Photography, is a collection of photographs of different places and eras and contains many of his most famous ones. But it has a couple of essays which gave me a fascinating insight into his approach to photography. 00:05:24,800 Well, I think Andreas Feininger was a really fantastic photographer, and if you come and look at these books, you'll see why. 00:05:36,740 That is the end of part four. You now have forty-five seconds to check your answers to part four. ## 题目与答案 ### 31. 31 The student chose to research Feininger`s work because 31 The student chose to research Feininger`s work because - she had always admired his photographs - he took some well-known photographs of New York - he was famous as both architect and photographer **答案**：he took some well-known photographs of New York 原文定位：I decided I wanted to learn more about him when I recently saw his photographs of New York.
