Friedrich Seidenstücker (1882-1966) didn't sell his first photograph until he was 46. Trained as a sculptor, he never lost his eye for mass and form. His photographs of Berlin daily life during the 1920s, '30s and '40s freeze passersby in poses either accidentally graceful or, more frequently, droll and ungainly.
