About the Item
Leonard Freed is considered one of the most prolific and timely photojournalists of his generation. Born in Brooklyn, he traveled to Europe for the first time in 1952, where he discovered photography. In 1954 he moved to Little Italy on the lower east side of Manhattan, where his love affair with Italian culture began.
The photographs expose Freed’s love of the Italian people. In photo after photo, the daily life, rituals and traditions of Italians are expertly frozen in time by the eye of such an accomplished photographer. The Italians finds scenes of weddings, birthdays and everyday life exposing their inner lives. His photographs illuminate an entire set of habits intertwined with tradition that are symbols of a broader culture and an entire country.
Freed’s career began shortly after World War II with subjects as diverse as his travels. Freed first came to fame in the United States documenting the African American struggle against segregation and discrimination. In particular, he photographed Martin Luther King Jr. through pivotal moments of the Civil Rights movement. He gained notoriety with his behind the scenes photographs of the NYC police department during the 1970s.
Throughout this time, he always maintained a love and passion for Italian culture. During his lifetime he visited Italy at least 45 times, representing Italian culture with emotional and intimate black and white photography. Leonard Freed was fascinated by the warmth, exuberance and empathy of the Italian people. He grasped the culture as few photographers have been able to before and since, capturing the essence of Italy and as newly minted Americans.
Gallery 270 represents distinguished photographers of the 20th Century and the emergent photographers of the 21st Century from around the world. We place particular emphasis on modern emerging photographers employing traditional processes such as platinum/palladium, cyanotype, and gum bichromate, where the hand of the artist is much more intimately engaged.

Leonard Freed
Leonard Freed was born on October 23, 1929, in Brooklyn. Although Freed's photographic career is defined by documentary photo essays, such as Black in White America, Freed traveled extensively and captured people, places and things that interested him in locations around the globe. A Magnum photographer, Freed traveled widely, photographing African Americans in America from 1964–65, events in Israel from 1967–68 and in 1973 and the New York City police department from 1972–79, to name a few celebrated assignments. Freed’s coverage of the American civil rights movement made him famous, although he continued to produce photo essays on New York, Italians and many other subjects. Leonard Freed worked as a freelance photographer from 1961 until his death on November 29, 2006, Philipstown.
