This book showcases sixty-five photographs by Albert Renger-Patzsch, a key figure in the Neue Sachlichkeit movement and a major photographer in 20th-century Germany. Although little recognized in the English-speaking world, Renger-Patzsch, a contemporary of Moholy-Nagy and Brecht and a friend of Hermann Hesse, gained prominence through his 1928 book "Die Welt ist schön" ("The World is Beautiful"). This compilation includes many previously unpublished works, offering insights into his life, career, and impact on photography. The book acts as a vital resource for scholars, social historians, and photography students exploring his influential legacy.
