The current New objectivity is based on the technical possibilities offered by photography based above all on the sharpness of the image and the use of light to model shapes and underline textures extracting unsuspected effects on everyday objects.”  Important photographers such as Willi Zielke Hans Finsler Werner Mantz Hein Gorny John Heartfield Walter Peterhans Helmar Lerski or Josef Sudek emerged from the New Objectivity. But the big three of the New Objectivity in photography were August Sander Albert RengerPatzch and Karl Blossfeldt. Click on the infographic to enlarge. As we said the New Objectivity literally gave new light to everyday life. In the case of RengerPatzch in everyday objects such as kitchen utensils valves tubes etc.

Karl Blossfeldt offers a new perspective on the forms of cast iron to finish in the structures of plants nature shows that the objective of the camera is a sort of eye prosthesis that allows you to expand your vision  and August Sander masterfully captures the most complex landscape on earth the human being. Gentleman Farmer and Wife  by August Sander  Sanders way of dealing with the photo background removing human person was peculiar because he began ... to make portraits in a way previously reserved for architecture in which clarity prevailed. The New Objectivity advocated the use of photographic processes and techniques with pristine precision. Sander was already a very experienced photographer so this approach suited his orderly and systematic temperament perfectly.



For Sander the New Objectivity took elegant sincerity for granted “photography with its cheap tricks poses and effects.”  August shunned any form of gimmicky. All of this photographers choices are geared toward formal thoroughness from the use of large negatives to capturing tonal range. “…even printing serves to enhance the sense of neutrality by flattening out all the differences in density of the negatives creating a uniform halftone. In Sander photography seems to be above all a measurement system than a means of transmitting artistic values…”  New Objectivity in general and August Sanders photography in particular exudes that sharp focus and documentary disposition as opposed to pictorialism.
