The fifteen years in Germany between the end of World War I and
the National Socialists' rise to power in 1933 stand out as one of
the twentieth century's most tumultuous periods. These years of
political and economic upheaval famously spawned significant and
lasting changes in the arts. However, one noteworthy product of
Weimar Germany's booming cultural life has escaped significant
critical attention: the photo essay. The Photography of Crisis
examines narrative photography and creates a snapshot of where
Germany was after World War I and what it would become with the
rise of National Socialism. By reading Weimar photo essays within
their historical and literary context, Daniel Magilow shows how
German photographers intervened in modernity's key political and
philosophical debates regarding the changing notions of nature,
culture, personal identity, and national identity.
