PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW; Citizens of Germany Before the Nation Shattered
1994
Overview
A crowning achievement of photography in this century is a small book published in 1929 by a longtime studio photographer from Cologne, Germany. On the surface, August Sander's \"Antlitz der Zeit\" (\"Face of Our Time\") is simply a collection of 60 portraits of a wide variety of people, from farmers to industrialists. Sander's work was intended to be only the first installment in a grand project to record the entire scope of contemporary society, under the title \"Citizens of the 20th Century.\" But in 1934 the Nazis ordered \"Antlitz der Zeit\" withdrawn from circulation and destroyed the printing blocks for it; Sander was forced to turn to landscape and nature photography. August Sander's \"Antlitz der Zeit\" (\"Face of Our Time\") remains on view at the Robert Miller Gallery, 41 East 57th Street, Manhattan, through Oct. 8.
