Albert Renger-Patzsch - Editions Xavier Barral 2017

Of unprecedented simplicity and originality for its time, Albert Renger-Patzsch's photography is particular in that it is based on a documentary style favoring sobriety and the immediacy of realism. His work demonstrates a rigorous technical and formal approach in which the camera only intervenes to intensify our vision and our awareness of reality. The book explores this fundamental work for photography, characteristic of the avant-garde of 20th century, through 190 emblematic photographs chosen by the exhibition curator. The whole is accompanied by a large corpus of texts illustrated with numerous archival documents and period publications.
