Portrait of Novelist Stefan Zweig. London, 1938, printed 2017

(Freud, Sigmund.) Sternberger, Marcel
Portrait of Sigmund Freud. London, 1938, printed 2017
Sternberger and Freud had known each other for years before they fled Europe with the rise of Nazism. Though Freud was terminally ill and at first hesitant about receiving visitors in 1938, the neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis said it “makes me feel good to see old-familiar faces again” when Sternberger arrived. This is said to have been Freud’s last portrait session before his death in 1939.

(Shaw, George Bernard.) Sternberger, Marcel
Portrait of George Bernard Shaw examining stamps. London, 1938, printed 2017
In this portrait Shaw examines the stamps which Sternberger had designed for the Belgian Royal Family, featuring the Royal children. Shaw was a philatelist, and the offer of the stamps was part of Sternberger’s method to gain access to Shaw.

(Einstein, Albert.) Sternberger, Marcel
Portrait of Albert Einstein. Princeton, New Jersey, 1950, printed 2017
In this portrait Sternberger shows Einstein dressed informally. Einstein was keenly aware of his public image, and often attempted to show a cheerful visage. The common backgrounds of the two men helped the photographer to put Einstein in a relaxed state and to capture him in a more vulnerable pose.
