“Mid-Century Master: The Photography of Alfred Eisenstaedt” Exhibit Opening

When “Life” photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt traveled to DC heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post’s Hillwood estate to snap her for the magazine in 1965 (left), he captured a casual, lighthearted vibe that was a hallmark of his influential work. Now the site of that photo session is the set-ting for an exhibit of Eisenstaedt’s photographs, including memorable images of Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy, and others.
