Fotografie in der Weimarer Republik - Catalog LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn (ed.)

Background information

"The years of the Weimar Republic between 1918 and 1933 played a unique role in the development of artistic photography and high-quality photojournalism. From Revolution and Republic to Dance and Fashion, from New Vision, Dada and Architecture to Workers' Photography, Technology or Sports, the eventful history of those years enters the picture. In the photography of the Weimar Republic, the reportage was invented - a story told with pictures and only short texts. Photography and text were congenially combined in the search for journalistic truth or what was believed to be truth or what was intended to be truth. Manipulation and agitation experienced an early heyday. Technical innovations of the time made it possible, among other things, to take interior photographs in good quality for the first time from 1924 onwards, thanks to the introduction of a handy 35 mm camera. Using original prints, magazines, postcards and posters, photography of the time is examined from political, social and artistic perspectives.
