Albert Renger-Patzsch

Albert Renger-Patzsch (1897-1966)

Synopsis

This book delves into the pioneering photography of Albert Renger-Patzsch, highlighting his documentary-style realism emphasized by simplicity and original composition. It features 190 iconic photographs selected by the exhibition curator, supplemented with extensive archival documents and period publications. Renger-Patzsch, born in 1897 in Würzburg, Germany, honed his photography skills early, leaving chemistry studies to work at the Folkwang Museum's Archives. He gained fame in 1928 with "Die Welt ist schön," showcasing everyday objects and landscapes. His work later documented industrial zones and World War II ruins, culminating in landscape-focused publications like "Bäume" and "Gestein." His prints are preserved as culturally significant by the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of Culture.
