About the artist

Alfred Eisenstaedt

German-American

1898-1995

Born in Dirschau (now Poland), Alfred Eisenstaedt studied at the University of Berlin and served in the German army during World War I. After the war, while employed as a button and belt salesman in Berlin, he taught himself photography and worked as a freelance photojournalist. In 1929, he received his first assignment that would launch his professional career – the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. From 1929 to 1935 he was a full-time photojournalist for the Pacific and Atlantic Picture Agency, later part of the Associated Press, and contributed to the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung and other picture magazines in Berlin and Paris. In 1935, he came to the U.S., where he freelanced for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Town and Country, and other publications. In 1936, he was hired as one of four staff photographers for the new LIFE magazine. Eisenstaedt remained at LIFE for the next 40 years and was active as a photojournalist into his eighties. In 1988, he was honored with the International Center of Photography's Infinity Master of Photography Award. His most famous photograph is U.S. Navy Sailor kissing a stranger on V-J day in Times Square.
