Werner Mantz (1901-1983) was a prominent architectural and
industrial photographer who began his career in the 1920s. His work
occupies a unique historical position thanks to his visual
language, technical prowess and use of natural light. As one of the
most important photographers of the New Building movement, Mantz's
oeuvre bridges the gap between the often-anonymous nature of
commissioned photography and the modernist , artistic avant-garde
movements of the interwar years, such as the Bauhaus. In the 1970s,
Mantz was even hailed as the 'missing link' in the history of
international photography. To date, only thematic selections from
Mantz's wide-ranging oeuvre have been exhibited. This monograph
sets the record straight by showcasing, for the very first time,
his immense versatility. Werner Mantz - The Perfect Eye contains
over 300 predominantly vintage images, ranging from architectural
photography, advertising shots and portraits of adults and
children, to views of industry and mines, religious subjects,
shops, restaurants and interiors, as well as roads, public spaces,
landscapes and travel photographs. That Mantz's oeuvre belongs to
the canon of international photography is indisputable. With text
contributions by Frits Gierstberg, Stijn Huijts, Huub Smeets,
Charlotte Mantz and Clement Mantz. Werner Mantz - The Perfect Eye
is the publication accompanying the retrospective exhibition of
Werner Mantz at the Bonnefanten in Maastricht from 25 September
2022 to 26 February 2023.
