Eisenstaedt’s Martha’s Vineyard

Eisenstaedt’s Martha’s Vineyard

One of the most respected photojournalists of the 20th century, Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995) captured countless iconic images, from a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square to portraits of kings, dictators, and movie stars. His decades-long career with Life magazine took him all over the world, but he found time to return to the Island each summer for more than 50 years. This exhibition shares the story of Eisenstaedt’s Martha’s Vineyard through his own words, along with photographs and objects in the Museum’s collection.
