A landmark in the history of modern art, People of the 20th Century
presents the fullest expression of the German photographer August
Sander's lifelong work: a monumental endeavor to amass an archive
of twentieth-century humanity through a cross section of German
culture. Sander photographed subjects from all walks of life,
capturing bankers and boxers, soldiers and circus performers,
farmers and families, to create a catalog of the German people,
arranged by their profession, gender, and social status. First
imagined in the 1920s, he pursued the project for more than fifty
years during a politically charged and rapidly changing time,
fraught by two world wars and the devastating repercussions of
Nazism. Sander never finished the seven-volume, forty-nine
portfolio magnum opus, continually refining and shaping it to
convey an understanding of the world in which he lived. The
photographs, remarkable for their unflinching realism and deft
analysis of character, provide a powerful social mirror of Germany
between the wars and form one of the most influential achievements
of the twentieth century. Now made available again, People of the
20th Century brings together the exquisite reproductions and
principal texts of the long out-of-print, seven-volume edition, as
well as the main scholarship from the accompanying study edition.
This all-in-one edition, with 619 photographs, offers the most
comprehensive iteration of Sander's still-essential vision.
