Title: Avant-Garde Photography in Germany, 1919-1939 Author: Van Deren Coke Publisher: Pantheon Books, 1982 Text by Van Deren Coke; 108 pages, black and white illustrations Published in conjunction with a seminal traveling exhibition sponsored by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, this volume represents the most innovative and iconic photography of the German interwar period. Though readers will be familiar with artists like Renger-Patzsch from his work in The World Is Beautiful or with Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Irene and Herbert Bayer for their distinctly Bauhaus approach to the medium, this book also presents many photographers and artists who experimented with the medium during these tumultuous years. In the introductory essay curator and photographer Van Deren Coke explains these works in terms of political upheaval, economic uncertainty, and lofty expectations for an industrially motivated future.
