The showcase ‘New Ways of Seeing. Photography of the 20s and 30s’ continues at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt until October 24, 2021.
Frankfurt’s Städel Museum shines a light on German modernist photography and its areas of application. During the interwar period, the modernist aesthetic known as ‘Neues Sehen’ (New Vision) manifested itself in a wide range of contexts. The exhibition ‘New Ways of Seeing. Photography of the 20s and 30s’ uses seven theme-specific chapters to provide fascinating insights into the medium’s role within very different fields – spanning from photojournalism, advertising, science and research, all the way to its instrumentalisation for political propaganda by the Nazi party.
Historical magazines, photo books and posters complement the showcase, which comprises more than 100 works by renowned photographers such as Alfred Ehrhardt, Hans Finsler, Lotte Jacobi, Felix H. Man, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Erich Salomon, and August Sander.
