THROUGH THE LENS OF TRUDE FLEISCHMANN: The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is promoting this event for Jewish American Heritage Month.

Through the Lens of Trude Fleischmann (1895-1990) Presentation by Carey Mack Weber, Fairfield (CT), followed by a conversation with Barbara Rosenburg.

After opening her own studio in Vienna at the age of just 25, Trude Fleischmann (1895-1990) had great success there in the 1920s and 30s photographing artists, dancers, actors, and other key cultural figures of the era. When the Nazis invaded during the Anschluss in 1938, she fled first to London and then to New York. She opened a studio just behind Carnegie Hall on 56th Street, in 1940 and photographed many of the artists and intellectuals of the day, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Marian Anderson, and Albert Einstein.

Presentation by Carey Mack Weber, Curator and Director, Fairfield University Art Museum, followed by a conversation with Fleischmann’s cousin, Barbara Rosenberg Loss. Introductory remarks by Stephanie Buhmann, PhD, Head of Visual Arts, Architecture and Design at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York.
