La Galerie Thierry Bigaignon in Paris presents a series of retrospective exhibitions dedicated to the work of Harold Feinstein. The first installment, titled The Early Years (1940's–1950's): Contagious Optimism, will be on display from 3 February to 30 April 2017.

Harold Feinstein (1931–2015) first gained acclaim with his now iconic black-and-white series on Coney Island in the 1950s, and went on to become one of the leading photographers in the USA. As a representative of the New York school of photography he took an empathetic approach, with a primary focus on street photography. Even though Feinstein’s work has long been part of public and private collections around the world, he is still mostly unknown in Europe – something the Parisian gallery now seeks to change with this large-scale retrospective.
