Revered as a father of modern photography, August Sander (1876-1964) so refined the art of portraiture that his moving images of his fellow countrymen have been heralded both as an important sociological document and a photographic masterpiece. But those images make up only a portion of this deluxe seven-volume set, which will stand as the definitive collection of Sander's considerable achievement. The books include some 150 never-before-seen images and essays by leading experts on the German photographer's work. Praising Sander's 'vision...his knowledge, and his immense photographic talent, ' the writer Alfred Doblin said: 'Those who know how to look will learn from his clear and powerful photographs, and will discover more about themselves and more about others. ' The slipcase has minor dents and scuff marks. The 7 hardcover books are in excellent condition, no marks or tears. All 7 dust jackets included.
