DESCRIPTION:
Frederick Levine said Amazing beautiful book. Probably the best photography book I've seen or will see. So instructive about its time and place -- without words.. Magnificent book. Very complete. I was looking for the seven volumes August Sander photograhy catalogue, but it was difficult to find and too expensive.This book is excelent as alternative. Very complete, well edited, more than 800 pages If you admire August Sander work, don' t doubt it, buy it!!!!. Four Stars Thomas C. Knueppel Outstanding photography and character studies
Sander conceived this large-scale project, which he ultimately never completed, in the 1920s. He was to spend the rest of his life working on it, his objective nothing less than a complete typological portrait of contemporary society. He envisaged seven groups labeled: "The Farmer", "The Skilled Tradesman", "The Woman", "Classes and Professions", "The Artists", "The City" and--on the theme of age, illness and death--"The Last People". Hundreds of portraits classified according to professional, social or family criteria were to provide a representative picture of the various social groups. . With People of the 20th Century, August Sander created a monumental work that is unique in the history of photography and a classic of photographic literature. We have now condensed out 2002 seven-volume edition of the artist's complete oeuvre into one large volume presenting "the essential" People of the 20th Century
