Resum: The 1950s and 1960s were years of intense activity for Breitenbach. He did photographic reportage in Asia for the United Nations and other varied businesses, documenting relief work. He exhibited his photographs extensively in Europe in the 1930s (especially in Paris) and in the United States from the 1940s to the mid-1960s, including at the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The time not spent on the road was spent absorbed by his teaching at Cooper Union and The New School. Breitenbach is best known for his sensitive and dynamic portraits of artistic luminaries and for his early use of color as an expressive element in photography. Since his death, there have been 26 one person exhibitions of his work, shown New York, Paris, Berlin, Munich, and multiple other locations in both Europe in the United States. Eight books have been published on his work. This book is the result of his Asian travels and includes pictures from Iran, India, Malaysia, Java, Bali, Burma, Pakistan, Nepal, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. The book and photos are large-sized (Amazon)
