Man Reading the Paper in the Subway at Pennsylvania Station

Louis Stettner (signed by artist), 1958

Louis Stettner is one of those photographers who had to wait a long time before being discovered or properly appreciated. The first important book about his work appeared in 1987, the year he reached retirement age. Many of Stettner’s photographs have a poetic aura, which in this image is largely due to the highly selective focus.
