AUGUST SANDER PEOPLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS 1892-1952 German Edition Photographs by: AUGUST SANDER / Publisher: SCHIRMER/MOSEL / 238mm × 295mm / 432P / Hardcover / Published 1980 / Used Book As shown in the photos, there is yellowing typical of a used book, but it has been stored at home, with no folds or stains, and is in good condition. August Sander's grand undertaking, "People of the 20th Century," which sought to comprehensively capture the whole of German society and, indeed, human society itself through portrait photographs. Richard Powers was inspired by the cover photo of this book, "YOUNG FARMERS," and developed it into the grand narrative "The Three Farmers on Their Way to the Ball." The unwavering trust in photography to capture things as they are, and the scientific perspective of understanding the world through observation and classification. It has been published in a 7-volume set and various other versions, but we recommend this heavyweight volume published by SCHIRMER/MOSEL in 1980.
