Six years ago I wrote a short note on this site, The Color Photographs of Irwin Klein, <\/a>about the work of a photographer whose life ended tragically in March 1974. You can now read the story I didn’t know then of his death<\/a> on a web site Irwin Klein: Photographer <\/em><\/a>(1933-1974) created by his nephew Nikolai Klein<\/em> in 2012.<\/p>\n

Rather more of his photographs appear to have survived, and there is a quite extensive archive on the web site, including the colour images of Brooklyn. There are over 300 of his Brooklyn slides on the site, although quite a few scenes are represented by two or more very similar views.<\/p>\n

I was emailed about this site by Nikolai’s brother Ben Klein<\/em>, who also commented on my 2010 post and has compiled and edited a book on the photographer’s major project, The Settlers.<\/em> ‘ He tells me that the slides were discovered in Klein’s widow’s house less than ten years ago.<\/p>\n

Irwin Klein and the New Settlers<\/a>, Photographs of Counterculture in New Mexico<\/em>, ISBN 978-0-8032-8510-1 is edited by Benjamin Klein with essays by David Farber, Tom Fels, Tim Hodgdon, Benjamin Klein, and Lois Rudnick, a foreword by Daniel Kosharek and an introduction by Michael William Doyle is published by the University of Nebraska Press.<\/p>\n

You can download a PDF from the university site which includes the contents pages, preface, introduction and opening essay From Innocence to Experience: Irwin B. Klein and the New Settlers of Northern New Mexico<\/em>, by Benjamin Klein and Tim Hodgdon.<\/p>\n

There is also a Facebook Page<\/a> and a number of article on the web about Irwin Klein, including one in the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/a>. He is represented by the D Gallery<\/a>, where you can see his most famous image, Minnesota Fire, 1962<\/em> and other pictures from the 2009 show Last Look: The Photographs of Irwin Klein<\/a> (1933 -1974).<\/p>\n

I think most photographers will recognise that striking ‘Minnesota Fire<\/em>‘ image though they may well – like me – have forgotten who took it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
