Product description
A high-stepping drum major leads an impromptu parade of local children across the sun-drenched lawn of the University of Michigan. This print immortalizes a specific afternoon in 1951, using a dynamic diagonal composition that draws the eye from the leader’s dramatic gait to the row of youngsters trailing behind.
About Alfred Eisenstaedt
Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898–1995) was a pioneering photojournalist for Life magazine, famous for V-J Day in Times Square. Black and white photography removes colour so shape, light and emotion lead. Many celebrated photographers printed their own work in the darkroom, treating each print as a finished artwork.
Styling this Alfred Eisenstaedt photograph
With its black-and-white palette and moody atmosphere, this Alfred Eisenstaedt photograph brings instant personality to a wall. As a landscape piece, “Drum Major and Children Ann Arbor” fills the space above a desk at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a home office. In black and white, “Drum Major and Children Ann Arbor” works with any colour scheme; a slim black frame with a wide white mat gives it a gallery finish.
