Synopsis

Albert Renger-Patzsch: Joy Before the Object is an important publication focused on the influential German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch. Accompanied by a preface from Weston Naef and an essay by Donald Kuspit, the book explores Renger-Patzsch's role in founding modern European photography. It examines how his work contributed to redefining "beauty" during the interwar period in Germany, amidst a backdrop of intellectual, artistic, and political change.
