Albert Renger-Patzch: Photographer of Objectivity
"... this collection of 113 black-and-white images from the 1920's to the 60's makes clear just what the movement called New Objectivity(Neue Sachlichkeit)in photography was all about. Renger-Patzsch, who was the movement's leading practitioner, embraced modern industrialism with all his heart, photographing trains, machines, quarries, and slag heaps with the same admiring precision that he applied to cathedrals, snow-covered landscapes and medieval castles." --The New York Times Book Review,December 6, 1998...this collection of 113 black-and-white images from the 1920's to the 60's makes clear just what the movement called New Objectivity in photography was all about. --The New York Times Book Review, Andy Grundberg
