August Sander: Seeing, Observing and Thinking

Photographs

August Sander, Gabriele Conrath-Scholl

August Sander is considered to be one of the greatest portrait photographers of the early 20th century. His work will be celebrated by an exhibition of his most important vintage prints at the distinguished Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. One half of the images are his famous portraits, the other half are his relatively unknown Rhineland landscapes and nature photographs from the 1930s. Also included is a text by August Sander himself -- his famous radio speech about photography entitled "Sehen, Beobachten und Denken" (Seeing, Observing, Thinking).
