Unusual perspectives, contrasts, and angles as the means to express
changing living conditions: In the 1920s many new fields of
activity opened up for photographers, who provided pictures for
everything from magazines and books to advertising design. Yet it
was not only its economic function that smoothed the way for
photography. As a seemingly authentic reproduction of reality,
political movements recognised that photography was a good means of
persuading and controlling the masses. In contrast to the
defamation of modernism in the fine arts, no creative limitations
were imposed upon photography - this new pictorial language was
already firmly established in the general visual memory, and all
throughout the Nazi era it remained linked to progressiveness.
Between 1918 and 1939, photography influenced the art world more
than it had during hardly any other period. Keeping in mind the
ongoing intensive debate about continuities and the different
stylistic tendencies going in multiple creative directions during
the 1920s and '30s, this catalogue offers insight into the
complexity of the era's events. Eight thematic chapters introduce
central aspects of art's exploration of photography and the entire
spectrum of motifs involved in employing it in various contexts.
