Len Speier’s first exposure to photography came from his Uncle Sam who gave him a camera and film developing kit for his 13th birthday in 1940. While other endeavors such as a stint in the Army’s First Cavalry Division, law school and a private law practice diverted Len Speier from his first love, he eventually began to make pictures again in 1957 at the age of 30. Len Speier’s style of photographic vision reveals a deep understanding and affection for the human condition whether working in the Bronx, in New York, or in mid-century Europe. His style is gentle, humorous and especially unique with a sophisticated visual language. His images are iconic, yet somehow unknown; at once familiar but full of surprises. A solo exhibition of approximately of 48 vintage Len Speier photographs is on view starting this week at Daniel Cooney Fine Arts in New York.
