Albert Renger-Patzsch - Profile

Renger-Patzsch is next August Sander, Karl Blossfeldt and one of the most important representatives of the New Objectivity. With its 20 years since the shooting style developed, he focuses entirely on the surface, the structure and shape of the object being photographed. In 1925, the first of his published over 20 picture books, published in 1928, its main publication, The world is beautiful, one of the most influential photo books ever. It brings together 100 images from nature, architecture and industry, which are shown similar factual and presented equally. This succeeds, the intrinsic motives and to highlight relevant structures and to establish it. The most technical of Renger-Patzsch dissolved out of context, detail shots purist appliances, industrial products and natural organisms are considered prime examples of the New sight.
