"In 'People of the 20th Century" August Sander (1876-1964) has created a monumental work quite unique in the history of photography. 'Antlitz der Zeit' [Face of our Time], a volume of pictures, which he published in 1929 as a preview of this more extensive project, set conceptual and aesthetic standards in photography, as well as other artistic fields. 'People of the 20th Century is unique both as an idea and as a photographic undertaking... He set up seven groups for his "cultural" work in photographs: "The Farmer", "The Skilled Tradesman", "The Woman", "Classes and Professions", "The Artists", "The City", and, as a final group, "The Last People", which deals with old age, sickness and death. Sander collected the individual portraits in more than 45 portfolios, which were then assigned to these seven categories." (Publisher). Fine condition.
