Description

August Sander's Face of Our Time is a seminal work in German photography. First published in 1929, this collection showcases sixty portraits of twentieth-century Germans, drawn from August Sander's extensive body of work. Sander approached his task as a photographer with an instinct for what was genuine and essential, observing human nature and the human environment without scientific aids or academic pretensions. The result is a powerful and intimate portrayal of the people who shaped Germany during this period. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of ordinary Germans in the early twentieth century, presented in Sander's characteristic style.
