Toni Schneiders

Toni Schneiders: Photography (German Edition)
Publisher's Description
Toni Schneiders (1920–2006) was
one of the most important photographers
in postwar Germany, known
primarily as a member of the group
Fotoform, which he co-founded with
Otto Steinert, Peter Keetman,
Siegfried Lauterwasser, Wolfgang
Reisewitz and LudwigWindstosser
in 1949, and which was pivotal in
the renewal of German photography
after Nazism. Schneiders’ photographs
are distinguished by their
clear compositional form and their
focus on essential geometric patternings—
strong contrast effects
and a figuration that tends towards
abstraction—cast in very specific,
identifiable qualities of light. This
volume, now reissued in a bilingual
edition, is the comprehensive survey
of Schneiders’ life work. It includes
his most famous works from the
Fotoform era, the pictures taken
during his travels from the 1950s
onwards (in Ethiopia, Europe, Japan
and South East Asia) and his many
photographs of nature, architecture
and people.
