About the Item
A young woman at a popular cafe-bar in the Marais in Paris is the subject of Heartbreak, 1990 by Roberta Fineberg. As most young women do in Paris, they lose their hearts at cafes, in romantic settings and conversations, while heartbreak awaits... French style.
Drawn to street photography for her early work, Roberta Fineberg who lived in France for a decade shot black-and-white film (analog) with a held-held 35mm camera in natural lighting in cities, notably New York, Paris, and Moscow.
A black-and-white photograph the 14" x 11" was printed in 2015. Heartbreak is titled, numbered, and signed on recto (photo front) by the photographer.
