The Great War of 1914-1918, the Weimar Republic, the reign of National Socialism, and the horrors of World War II all left an indelible imprint on both the man and his work. Sander, a conventional studio portraitist who transformed himself into an avant-gardist, exemplified the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of his time. He was at once innovative and deeply wedded to the past, blending a progressive vision with a traditional view of society and his craft.\u003cbr\u003e The approximately fifty plates featured in \u003cem\u003eIn Focus: August Sander\u003c\/em\u003e are some of the most striking from the Getty Museum's more than twelve hundred pictures by the artist. They include images of rural dwellers such as those found in \u003cem\u003eYoung Farmers and Farm Girls\u003c\/em\u003e, and other portraits including \u003cem\u003eWife of the Cologne Painter Peter Abelen, Parliamentarian\u003c\/em\u003eand the poignant \u003cem\u003eBlind Children, Düren\u003c\/em\u003e. A chronological overview of Sander's life provides a factual framework for this discussion.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"J.
