Opening Saturday, January 5, 2019, 1:00-3:00pm.

Lucien Aigner is considered to be one of the world's original photojournalists - those who took photos of and journalistically covered historical events - and was eyewitness to monumental and daily events that spanned the 20th century, including League of Nations meetings in the 1920's, events that took place in Europe that eventually led to World War II, classic moments in American history in the 1940's and early 1950's. This photo exhibit, curated by his son, John Aigner, includes a range of photos from throughout his career, including his well-known photographs of Albert Einstein.

Sunday, January 6, noon-1:00pm. Film: Lucien Aigner: A Life With The Camera.

Lucien Aigner: A Life With The Camera. Lucien Aigner was one of the first photographers to use the revolutionary 35mm camera in the 1930s. His photographs carry the audience back to a time when eccentric celebrities and great political figures, (Hitler, Mussolini, etc.), shook and shaped the world.  The audience is brought to the streets of Paris, the playing children, couples in love, people caught unaware by Aigner's roving eye and captured by his camera.  Aigner recalls the events, some painful, some happy, that brought him to Great Barrington, Massachusetts, and eventually to return to his love of photography at the age of 82.
