| biography:
| Photographer, born in Herdorf, WC Germany. He studied painting in Dresden, and opened studios in Linz and Cologne. For many years he planned and worked towards a documentary study, Men in the 20th Century. He published the first part, Faces of Our Times, in 1929, but his social realism was discouraged by the Nazi Ministry of Culture in 1934, and he published little thereafter. What little surviving material there is has provided penetrating portraits of German life in the early part of the century. |
