Alfred Ehrhardt (1901-1984)

Synopsis

This book is a meticulously crafted facsimile of Alfred Ehrhardt's "Das Watt," highlighting its significance in photobook history. Renowned for its early 20th-century abstraction, it features Ehrhardt's geometric compositions of natural forms, influenced by his Bauhaus background. This edition by Xavier Barral is noted for its high-quality printing that captures the original's depth. The book explores Ehrhardt’s journey from Bauhaus teacher to a photographer following his forced departure in 1933. It includes his first photographic series on the Curonian Spit's sand dunes, produced in 1934 after he left Germany.
