Translation of werkstattportrait 10: "Albert Renger-Patzsch born on June 22m 1897 graduated at the Humanistic Gymnasium studied chemistry until the preliminary examination after that he became the head of the photography department of the Folkwang Publisher in Hagen and Darmstadt. Since 1925 independent photographer in Bad Harzburg; first exhibition at Kestner-Gesellschaft in Hannover in 1925; first publication: "Die Halligen" in 1927 worked from 1929-1944 in Essen after that in Wamel near Soest. Following his title "Die Welt ist schön" he published monographs of cities and architecture books on marked-off landscapes and other topics. Renger=Patzsch works are in the collections of the MOMA New York the Eastman House in Rochester the Gernsheim Collection in London the Copper-Engraving Collection of the National Library in Paris and the Photo-Museum in Dresden. He was awarded the David Octavius Hill Medal of the G.D.L. in 1957 the Culture-Award of the German Society for Photography Cologne in 1960 and the Golden Society Medal of the Vienna Photographic Society in 1961. Renger-Patzsch is seen as the father of "Neue Sachlichkeit" in photography. In his book "Die Welt ist schön" he introduces a program with the goal to deter photography from engaging in a race with painting and reflect on its own medium. His notion that photography based on its mechanical structure is better suited to do justice to an object portrait it as an artistic individual pertains to large fields of photography today.

1940ref. 46606Berlin: Vereinigte Verlagsgesellschaften Franke & Co. KG 1940. First edition. Softcover. Very good condition. Quarto. 8pp. Original photo-illustrated wraps with white lettering on cover. Illustrated promotional supplement of the periodical Illustrierter Film-Kurier in gravure. The 1940 film "Der ewige Jude" is a propaganda documentary about the world Jewry after an idea by Eberhard Taubert. As part of Goebbels' anti-Semitic strategy this film followed the 1937 art exhibition "Der ewige Jude" in Munich and the publication of a book in the same year and with the same title both with derogatory captions asserting the "degenerate Jewish race." Goebbels took an active role in the production of the film and insisted on Fritz Hippler as the director for the film. After the invasion of Poland Goebbels instructed Hippler to send camera crews to Poland to collect footage of Polish Jews. The film starts with an "impressive" foray through the Jewish ghettos in Poland depicting the Jews in filthy living conditions making a living through profiteering instead of honest work. The footage was manipulated in a way to show the Jews as originating in Palestine and from there flooding the earth drawing parallels to the way rats spread through new territory stressing the Jew's ability to adapt to various life styles. The promotional is illustrated with photomontages depicting Jews from various walks of life Polish street scenes a Rabbi holding up a knife in line with the brutal depiction of a Shechita as the face of Jewry juxtaposed with gleaming pictures of content German people and thankfulness towards a government willing to solve the "Jewish problem."
