August Sander Cycle Part 6 – The Artists
For August Sander the group of “The Artists” had a special position in his work People of the 20th Century. So he has deliberately not integrated them into the group “Classes and Professions”. Many of the artistic personalities were among his closest friends and acquaintances. In particular, the artist group
Kölner Progressiven is represented by well-known personalities such as Jankel Adler, Otto Dix, Heinrich Hoerle, Franz Wilhelm Seiwert and Anton Räderscheidt. In the image composition, however, they are distinguished hardly from other professional groups in Sanders cycle. The physiognomy and psychology
of the portrayed become natural and at the same time each Typological is worked out.
